I have definitely seen it referred to as a TRD bumper.

Japan would be your best bet.
Failing that, you can try www.mr2roc.org some times people break cars or sell their kits.

heres a few more photos, im hoping to fix it but finding info is really hard, when i had a mk2 there seemed to be a wealth of knowledge, i think its far too good to break.

As already mentioned in another mk3 thread I haven't been a fan of them due to the look of the car compared to a mk2. Now however in the space of a short time two have popped up that I like - the monocraft GT one and now this TRD version. Don't break it ! ( Pay a visit to Paul Woods and have a v6 put in it.)

well i think i found the problem, the spark plugs needed changing, water had gone through the engine lid, and because the engine plastic cover was off it had dropped down to the plugs.
i do agree i dont really want to break it.

Glad you got it sorted and it was a relatively easy fix - be good to see it out and about and making full power :thumleft:
