Ouch!  Gutted for you Tim - hope you can source a new one without too much wallet-pain.

Did you lose the front or the rear?

Nasty! Hope you get it sorted soon mate. At least it was only a bumper.

Cheers

Cheers guys.


But seriously though - where do i need to look to get a replacement bumper?

I\'m certain i\'ve seen a replica A-Spec front bumper, but i can\'t for the life of me remember where. I think it was a US site.

Can you lot post up all the sites you know of that sell RX7 bumpers, specifically if you\'ve seen the A-spec?

It\'d be a real help, as its my daily driver, and i want it looking nice again soon!

NOOOO :eek: i hate seeing rexs in this state....feel for you Tim...as long as you are ok mate thats what matter.

I think Ross @ dragon has got that bumper worth giving him a call and i think its in black as well so you can get it sorted asap.

Sorry news Tim - bad luck there fella. :( :( :(

I didn\'t want to mention it before (as I didn\'t want to tempt fate) but every car I\'ve ever sold seems to get crashed by the next owner shortly after I sell it.  

Ah well - at least you\'re ok and it\'s just a cosmetic thing. You\'ll get it sorted and she\'ll be looking good again in no time.

Tim! Are you just after the same bumper or  would you consider a different one?   I asked because the bumper that was on my old car has just sold last week but the guy has\'nt picked it up yet, i can ask him if he wants to sell it on.   It was sold for £185 and is black, knightsports one.

Or, i know Ross has some other makes in stock that you may like, no?

I\'m going to try and get the same bumper - as it had the full A-spec treatment from the factory i\'d like to keep it standard.

Still, i may have my mind changed if i find one i like....:D

Ouch :eek: I enquired about shipping for some side skirts from raceonusa and was quoted $799 :eek: :confused:

Maybe worth trying again?(Let me know if they quote you cheaper ;) :D )

Rotary Extreme (http://www.rotaryextreme.com) might be worth a try. Have bought from there before and can vouch for them

Feel sorry for you mate.....  :(
On the bright side, it doesnt look like anything more than a front bumper, which is very luck comparing to some of us.   :(
Do have the car checked out though, just in case.  :)

Unluck mate but at least it doesnt look too bad. Race on do the aspec bumper but postage will probably be loads.
