[Mk2] [Turbo] A girl needs help !!!!!! Need a new front end

[NickyB]

Hi ppl
My car was reversed into a few days ago

so i need a new bumper and dont know weather to have the standerd back on or get or get a fancy bumper..i was thinking of the Border one but dont know if it will be to low

Any ideas ppl ??? also i need pics, also was thinking of something like the standerd one with a slight difference to the lower lip maybe...but i need pics..please help...nic
this is my baby of the bumper before

[raptor95GTS]

std is good but since you have a kit on yours the border will look nice I think

[Martin F]

i also think the border bumper would finish off your car nicely....it is very low though....

has your car been lowered at all?

do you ever have to drive over speed bumps?

there is a lip as well that also looks very nice, im sure someone will post a pic before long...

[NickyB]

Yes i do have to go over speed humps , the car is not lowerd but i am worried that i will hit the front on the border, My boyfriend has a Supra tt with the Org Do-Luck bumper and he has just smashed the front but his is lowerd though. But thats the same as the border look...I was thinking the MR2 Bomber Style bumper

[TUBBY-DEUCE]

nice tubby you have there, what skirts are they? sorry to be off topic

are you sure that isnt lowered, those wheels look really snug in those arches, in a good way

Thanks, i cant remember what the skirts are... the car has bilstein fullkit which my bf installed but it still ended up the same hight as the standerd shocks

[TUBBY-DEUCE]

i agree with mrtee on the bumper front, maybe if you wanted to stay standard there is a extended type front splitter think its bomex, someone will correct me, that'd look cool as well

[bubbles]

Sweet 2 you have there. If you look on Rogues website in the
affilliates section they have some they do.

bomex would look ace on there! you should be ok with humps so long as you are careful! i have a veilside bumper on mine ,lots lower than border + its 1 1/2" off the floor and i manage to get over humps! but im also lookin for a border bumper tho as the veilside is too long and low, im fedup with having going over every slight hump in the road at 1/2 a mph!!

only thing is tho with the border, your gona have the same prob as me... Where the hell to get one from!! (a decent one that is!)

There was a guy called Dave on here no being serious Rogue
do the Rev 6 front which is pretty much like the border but nicer

[Harry]

Border Is set low It can really be a pain,but looks great.Sard Is a good choice too.But In my eyes there Is only one for you Nicola; Toms Racing Japan.Just like your rear aero spoiler.Toms Is a bit more natural along the lines of OEM but smooth as silk and really look lovely also the fogs can be fitted or not They do not sit silly low.Says me with two Inches front clearance.

[Monaco]

I don't think a border front end will look right with the type of side skirts you've got there, sorry.

Maybe just a splitter would look better?

+1 spliter

A splitter is not much help if your standard bumper is damaged? Although depending on the damage this might be just what you’re looking for.

Don’t even have to remove the standard bumper to fit (quite a time consuming job).

Shameless plug , and its not too low compared to the boarder fronts.

Thanks for all your help every1 i might go for this cover that goes over the standerd bumper now

Bomex lip on standard bumper ,would go with the skirts

[rookie-racer]

I'd recommend the autopista front skin, it goes over the oiginal one, i was actually going to buy it for one of my twos, but mikey doesnt want to post it

nicky can you get a pick of your car now its damaged, so we cans ee whether you really need a new bumper?

[James Junior]

I think a Sard bumper would look fabulous...

Hi Nicky,

Go Border, I have one and my car which is lowered by 4cm and haven't sraped it at all, even on the speed mountains that are around me, although you do hold your breath alot more when going over them. More likely to smack the front parking up to a curb as the cars abit longer.

No idea what your skirts are, but they have the same stlye look as mine which are Bomex with Toms fins blended in and go superb with the Border front.

Sorry, but IMO border wouldn't suit yours, you'd need beefier side skirts and rear bumper to pull it off.

I think your best bet is a standard front bumper, with a Bomex or GReddy lip. You could even get the Bomex front bumper, I think that would look pretty good too.

The cover one above looks IMO
