Guys just another quick question. Would a non HR model Z bumper fit my 08 or are the bumpers different?

HR and DE bumpers are different mate, and as you have a HR like mine, I wouldn't want to make my zed look older lol. Most people try to do the opposite :lol:

Had a quick look on another guide online as I currently dont have another jack so may just get the local garage to get it off for me before they inspect it. Slightly worried that what I can see hanging down is part of the splash guard. Anyone know if this is something fairly inexpensive to replace?

Depends, ...from a Nissan dealership everything from a plastic trim clip to a door mirror glass is bl**dy expensive!! :lol:

 

If you know what parts you need & don't mind good quality OEM used parts then try zmanalex or Emperor Tuning.

If you would prefer new items at a cheaper cost than at the dealerships then I believe Clark Motorsport are who you'd be best off trying first.

I thought this would unfortunately be the case, but had to ask anyway, definitely dont want to send the car back in time :lol:

Thank you Ballistic, really appreciate the links! Il take a look at them all now. Most likely looking to get a good used bumper as it will be cheaper and more cost effective :)

Used bumper will definitely be the best idea cost wise.

Just "PM" the member trader/professional traders I linked by hovering your cursor arrow over their username and ask them for stock availability & prices.

 

Failing them (which I doubt) have a good look through the member traders for anyone breaking a HR Zed. ;)

I was expecting far worse - you're lucky really, I knew of someone several years ago who hit a deer on a motorway and was killed after getting out of their car and being hit by someone else. Hope you get it sorted.

Definitely Nixy, shocking how serious / devistating hitting one of these can be. Certainly thankful its just the car thats damaged and repairable.

Just a quick update, ive found this on eBay, currently the only HR bumper I have found and ive checked a lot of cars that are currently being broken. Ive also PM'd ZMANALEX and Jon @ Emperor and currently non available.

 

Please let me know your thoughts on its condition: http://www.ebay.co.u...=item464bc69c37

 

Im thinking a body shop can easily repair the small issues on it. The seller has specified it can be purchased with delivery included at £115.
