Its bugged me for sometime but i think, although it looks like an Abflug bumper, that infact its an K-one bumper, follow the link to there site.

It's definitely an Abflug,Nic (wabbitkiller on MR2ROC) did his detective bit and found this out.

How can you tell its not an K-One? :lol:

I could be wrong but even in the spyderforum link (which i havent seen before), the lower corner section of the abflug bumper looks slighlty larger than on the K-One's and on LOB's bumber that section looks small, its a minor detail but it could be the difference between the two parts.

I wonder if Abflug stamp there parts aswell or mark them? i dont know but i would suspect K-One to be a copy of the abflug kit and these tend not to be stamped, etc. I have some original japanesse body parts from two companys, some TTE parts and all these are stamped, so i would think Abflug would be stamped ...

Point is, the link I posted has a picture of the bumper with a statement "my Abflug bumper"....?

Then I realised the OP here was the same guy from ROC....?! :? :)

But if they're THAT similar.......who cares....!? :wink:
