Wanted - stock front bumper for swap


MGR

Recommended Posts

I'm picking up my 350z at some point in the next week or so. Its got a modified front bumper that I'm really not keen on. Its silver and has the front badge removed / smoothed and the side vents smoothed over. Apparently just had a respray. I'd like to swap it with a standard item. Clearly I'd like a decent condition item in return with good paintwork.

 

Located in berkshire.

 

I'm assuming they come off quite easily so would propose that we would just meet at one of our houses and swap them over.

 

I'll post some pics when I pick up the car.

I'm really not sure exactly what it is - could well be the original bumper just modified at a bodyshop.

 

I'm expecting to pick the car up either this weekend or next week at some point.

 

I'll try to find a link to the advert.....

stock bumper fully smoothed ;)

 

I am so glad I never followed through & got my reflectors smoothed :yuck:

I'm not a fan either but I don't like cosmetically modified cars much anyway unless its for a genuine performance reason. Some people do like this sort of thing though and if you do it makes sense not to pay for it and do a swap. Its not that dissimilar to some aftermarket bodykits I've seen.

well for a fan of a non modded car you've also gained an 07 bonnet and a V2 or N2 spoiler of the nismo variety ;)

 

my guess is your engine bay may not be standard either, but you'll need to check that as well once you get it.

Yes I had noticed the 'mach3' on the back ! Its actually not that bad in real life but will probably also be coming off once the front bumper is sorted.

 

The only mod I like is the 07 bonnet, I prefer it to the earlier one. Engine is stock I think, it certainly felt quite pedestrian compared to the M3, I think the only mods are an exhaust.

 

I've no issues with mods just think 90% of cosmetic ones don't work.

I've got a spare front bumper in silver if you want it, I'll let it go for £40, it's off of a JDM though so no washer holes, I don't really want your front bumper so you could possibly sell that on eBay? I'm only in herts aswell so pretty local

Thanks I'll bear it in mind, would prefer to get one with the washers as I'll have to do something with the tubes then but could be an option.

the one i have an mentioned earlier has all the correct holes as its off a UK GT version and its in blade silver

 

I assume thats the colour my car is ? How much would you want for it ? If you don't want to post here send me a PM with the price.

it needs a little work in the underside passenger corner, its almost out of sight so a smart repair would do it which would probably set you back about 50 pounds.

 

how about the cost of posting it via courier and some beer money

Sounds like a plan - very generous of you. I'll wait till I've got the car then give you a call / transfer some money.

 

cheers

it needed some work, thought it best to be honest and you may decided to respray which would increase your costs. going stock then doersn't become as cost effective.

 

i have no use for it, and it will only take up space in my garage. saves me time having to find a buyer and frees up my garage loft space.

 

if you have another vehicle and wished to collect in person i'm in ipswich, it would then save on trying to organise a courier and you'll know it will get shipped in perfect condition.

Do you have any pics of it, just so its clear what condition its in ? I might be able to sort a pick up for it I'll investigate my options. You're right couriers are useless.
