Civic TYPE R FN2 new front bumper required

Big_AL · 18th March 2008, 22:57

I dinged the bottom section of my type R bumper. Corner is mangled, but rest is OK. Any ideas on best place to get a replacement, as I don't want to get ripped off at my local dealer? Al

Unless you can find a CTR which crashed backwards, I'd actually talk to the dealers.

You get a bumper already painted and it works out a lot cheaper than getting the old bumper repaired and painted. Even a proper scratch painted will be expensive compared to a new one.

Did it on my old EP3 and it was worth the money. AND it was dead easy to fit.

Try Ebay

You could do with finding someone who has upgraded to the splitters and still has the lower sections of the bumpers in the right colour and is willing to sell the front one.

Is it just the bumper or has it damaged the bottom of the wheels arch trims as they join into the lower section of the bumper?

Turns out to be my lucky day. EBAY turned up the splitter upgrade at £325, however, when I went down to my local Honda dealer to get a quote, one of the mechanics had just bought an upgrade splitter and had a surplus bottom section in NHB which is my colour. He has also organised a wheel arch liner replacement which also got damaged all for £200. Seemd like a good deal......I don't feel so bad now.
