Delboy_Z Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I've had my front bumper re sprayed and the people that done it haven't put the rubber trim back after doing this. I now have a front bumper with the large middle rubber trim attached but not the 2 that are directly in front of the front wheels. I've tried to buy these new from a dealer but apparently you have the buy the whole wheel guard to get these parts. Can anyone help?!

Delboy_Z Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Sorry, would probably help if I told you my cars a 2009 350z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 What front bumper do you have fitted to your car ? An image of where the missing parts go may help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delboy_Z Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Sat through loads of those with the parts guy at my local dealers, he says it probably comes as part of the first diagram you posted, but you have to buy the whole thing. It's just the stock bumper. Pics of the non existent part below. The nuts have been put back but no blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Do you have an engine under tray fitted ? Are the front arch liners fitted? the part circled in Buster's schematic. I think that you should start some dialogue with the paint shop who painted your bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy_Z Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Yeah the under tray is fitted, the guy at the dealership told me that they come with the wheel guard, mine has the wheel guard but these parts are individual but you can't buy them new individually. I think I need to find a breakers or someone that this part used somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy_Z Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Already had massive rows with them about that, they reckon they were already missing. They weren't but I got no way of proving that, I already had them replace the trim around the windscreen because they didn't refit that properly and that blew off.

ZMANALEX Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 So what parts do you think you actually require ? I am dismantling 3 x 350Zs at the moment so may be able to help, however you will have to be much clearer on what you require. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy_Z Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 It's a rubber blade that sits on the bumper directly in front of both front wheels. Probably 6-8 inches long. In the second picture I posted the nuts are where the part should be, just no part. I'll see if I can find a picture of the part fitted but that might prove difficult.

Grundy Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Can you not just google another Zed with what you are after? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy_Z Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 All the picture on the net and previous ones I've taken of mine are at the wrong angle. Unless you take the picture from the floor it doesn't show the part as it sits under the bumper. Most new cars have this part, although sometimes it's connected to the wheel guard. Perhaps there's someone that has a stock bumper on their car that could post a picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I would suggest that you get under your car and take a picture which should clearly show which part is missing, then and only then can we offer informed advice, however I think that the garage may have chopped the front arch liners by your description.

Delboy_Z Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 This is the part, but not on a 350z. It's not connected to the wheel guard, it's bolted on by itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grundy Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Plenty of pictures on google..... Still no idea what part you are on about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The part you think you are missing does not exist. There is no bar in front of the front wheels but i think the arch liner should come out to those 2 bolts. I'm assuming the shop have tucked the whole thing inside the bumper.

Delboy_Z Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Oh well I'll give up then. The picture of the one you posted hasn't even got the large rubber trim under the grill on it. And there are no close up pictures of the underside of front bumpers on Google. Can hardly see it from 20 feet away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 If you are not prepared to take a picture of your own car from underneath then I doubt if anyone will be able to help you further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 WARNING!! HUGE BLOODY PICTURE You can see to the right of this image the front "spoiler" and the 2 arch liners. No 'bars' or anything in front of the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I have the same two holes there, but only because I have an aftermarket front lip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy_Z Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 The first 2 pictures are of my own car, I think they give a pretty good idea of where the part would normally but if you think it'll help more here's a pic from underneath. Sorry couldn't jack the car up to get a further away view as I've just had an op. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
