Induction Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 My car will be going in to have the front bumper and IC replaced soon because of badger damage. I've been told that genuine Toyota parts may take a while to get hold of so I was thinking about getting them to put a different front on. Which front bumper would look best assuming that the IC will probably remain as standard, at least side mounted (no big FMIC to show off through the gap!) and the rest of the body will also stay standard? And am I right in thinking I could get hold of a different bumper quicker? The new intercooler maybe coming from a different source rather than Toyota.

Alex Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 Induction... I believe I am right in saying that going for a urethane nose as opposed to a fibreglass one is the best option...but it costs more...fibreglass doesn't take hits as well as urethane...hence after re-building a fibre one and re-spraying it a few times may have made the urethane one more cost effective.... I have not had real first hand experience with this but its what I've read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Induction Posted October 18, 2002 Author Share Posted October 18, 2002 ok, thanks guys. I'll keep doing some research. The car's due in on the 29th of October and I've been told that they can't order anything until the bumper is taken off and they can see what stuff they need. I'm looking into it now to try and stop the delay of waiting for parts to arrive, causing the car to be off the road whilst the front is in bits.
