Rob_Quads Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I have a brand new Nismo Replica fibreglass front bumper. I bought it from the forum. I repaired the small bits that were not 100%, sanded it all down with 400/600 grit and its now ready to be primed and painted. As can be seen from the pics it fits fine. Genuine reason for sale - I just never got round to spraying it myself and due to other priorities at the moment realise I would not get round to it for many months and as its taking up space in the house I would rather shift it. Selling for £125. Located Nr Southampton - just off M3 j13 Comes complete with the mesh and optional smoked reflectors Ideally want the item to be picked up. YES it will fit in a 350z as I got it in mine to bring it back from a friends. I can arrange a courier but its fairly expensive due to its size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Fit looks perfect, but looks a little 'worn'? Great price though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Quads Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Doh - location would be good - Near Southampton - just off J13 of M3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 worn? On the last photo, a few of the edges look like they been scraped thats all and the there blemishes on the third photo......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Quads Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 I can 100% guarantee that its not been used. I fitted it to make sure it was Ok as Ii did not want to paint it to find it would not fit. The corners were damaged slightly but i repaired them thus the slightly varying colours. The blemishes are purely visual - its as smooth as a baby bum lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you've explained, it sounds a very cheap bargain for someone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWZ Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 No headlamp washers on this then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 just cut the holes your self, its not that hard, i don't think i cut out 2 fog light holes in an MR2 bumper, used a soldering iron and melted them out. with fibre glass i would just use a dremmel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M350ZB Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 No headlamp washers on this then? Only the genuine Nismo front bumpers come with the cut out's in, the replica ones im pretty sure all come with out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T8 JPE Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 i'm thinking of changing my bumper or getting it resprayed cause of stone chips. would this fit a 56plate facelift model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M350ZB Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 From what i am aware of it will fit the face lift models buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Quads Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 AFAIK yes - Although there has been a tweak in the design of the bottom middle section the fixings have not changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T8 JPE Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 is this made from the same material as a genuine nismo bumper as im concerned about the cracks that can occur on fibreglass bumpers when they are sprayed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Genuine Nismo bumpers are also fibreglass. Don't know about thicknesses etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure there are quite a few people on here running some replica parts wiether it be front bumper, skirts or spats, dont think you will have to much trouble, and does seem like a very good buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is made from fibreglass like many of the Nismo products. It appears to be fairly well made with no visible air pockets (which AFAIK) is the only thing that could cause it to crack when being painted if its done in an oven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theman Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Seriously considering this bumper. Anyone recommend a good bodyshop in London to have it painted and fitted. I am ULTRA fussy with these things so don't mind paying that bit extra for better job. Any idea of rough guide to price I could expect to pay? thanks Guys.

Went to ESR for all mine, a bit of a drive, but worth it, for the people and the end product, may be see if they could do it, then you could allways add more modz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 3fiddyz has a good bodyshop in Londonshire somewhere and Andy from Kudos Automotive may be able to help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
