It looks more like Timothy Spall to me with those big jowly cheeks. Wait, wasn\'t he Barry in Auf Weidersehen, pet? Maybe it really IS a Barry! :rollin

Does anyone have any other bumpers they think I should check out that retain the pre 99 lights? Seems to be slim pickings...!?

The bumper came with the car from Japan and has a complete Knightsport bodykit or did till I broke the rear bumper and put on a Mazdaspeed one. The downside to this front bumper are the holes for the front no plate in the midle as you can see because of the offset no. plate. But it has good airflow for both a large front mount and both oil coolers + there are only about 5-6 in the UK?

I have a TBO front bumper which uses the stock 93 lights but makes them look slightly more angular. U will be lucky to find another but gives you an idea of what other styles are out there

I also have a RE-A front which uses 93 spec lights, let me know if your interested looking for £100 collected, only pic i could find of it.

Liam has (or had) an Apexi front bumper for sale on his thread here http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65281  One of my more favourite ones ever and uses the early-spec sidelights. Can also be seen on Kieron\'s Purple Ronnie http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68667

cheers for the suggestions and offers guys but non really do it for me, the only pre 99 light bumpers ive found that tickle my fancy are the knightsports bumpers... they are not ott but still have aggressive angles! shame they are not in my price range, maybe ill just have to bite the bullet and go 99 side lights!

What about the stock bumper?

Decent wheels and fitment on the stock bumper looks about 10 times better than any kitted fd imo.

cheaper too!

Could always go for some feed sideskirts too

Funny u should say that as  Some feed side steps will be fitted at the same time as whatever bumper I end up with! :-)

Is this Re-A bumper still for sale?

Is it genuine or at least a good fit?

Cheers

As has been said, maybe a stock bumper but find a different spliter to go on it. That might make it look a little different and stand out
