Title: Anyone bought a FEED Type-II replica bumper?
Post by: MillSpeed on June 26, 2004, 08:49:57 PM
Like the title says, has anyone got themselves a replica front from Dragon Performance. Can\'t argure with the price...cheap as chips considering the price of the originals! Just wondering if anyone\'s had any experience trying to get them to fit. Weighing up the options, y\'dig?

Nah, gonna order one next week tho. Just sold my shitcrate of a Jaguar and the cash is already burning a hole in my pocket. My original bumper has gone \'wavy\' so a replacement is defo needed.

Shame that, really spoils the appearance in my opinion. I rang up my local dealer to find out how much it\'d cost to replace.....£670+VAT. Hmm, don\'t think I\'ll bother with that option!

Unreal the price of parts from dealers. Close to £800 for a standard front bumper?! For that kind of money you could source yourself a nice aftermarket one from abroad, prob pay tax and shipping, and still only spend about the same money!

Suppose most brands are the same, but mazda do seem to try and take you to the cleaners esp with FD parts.

Good luck in your search matey! :)

Cheers mate, hopefully won\'t take too long to get the FEED front on the go. There\'s plenty of stuff to be getting along with in the meantime tho. I was planning to have her back on the road by the end of next month, but I\'m not sure how realistic that is now. Can\'t wait to drive her again, especially when she\'s all smoothed out with a shiny new coat of black paint!
