Title: Please help - what front bumper is this???
Post by: Dods RX7 on September 26, 2006, 11:45:08 AM
Hey guys, saw a RX7 in Aprils issue of Jap Performance and have been wondering what the front bumper is (its a bit vague about the details in the mag :xconfused ). It looks like a RE-A item but one that I haven\'t seen before - not like the other RE-A one. If it is, could anyone direct me to a distributor in the UK if at all?

If anyone could help, ill be more than happy to buy them a couple of beers at japfest or japshow - im going to both i think. Theres some motivation. :Thumbs-up

Cheers guys

Cheers Dragon, yeah, the two vents at the top were moulded in and its dripping with carbon. Anyone know of any distributors - tried to navigate my way round the RE-A website but my lack of reading japanese hindered me somewhat :rolleyes:

Thats a RE-Amemiya AD Facer R with carbon carnards and undersweep(though this doesnt look like a RE-A item).

The two vents at the top are standard. the big slit across the front and tow hook are modifications to it, along with the clear indicators.

The Facer R bumper is listed on the RE-A site so is still available to buy. Try Miguel at Newera, link at the top.

HTH, pic attached of standard item.

Cheers tr1cky, a few beer tokens will be coming your way. Just got back from work so will give Newera a bell tommorrow to see if they can help. Thanks to everyoine else as well for the input.

And the spoiler on the car is crazily high, never seen one like that on a rex before. Im in question with myself as to whether it is performing properly :confused:

Has that got the FEED carbon skirts sat under the Mazda spec sideskirts?

Is this possible to do without much modding?
