James Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Following on from L33's thread about the stock rubber "splitter" being £400 from Toyota, how much is a stock front bumper and also how much is a stock bonnet? I tried phoning the parts department at Toyota this evening but they were shut very sharp so I'd need to wait until tomorrow but I'm trying to work a couple of things out ASAP so if anyone knew that'd be great! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin J Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Stock bonnet was around £900 when I checked in January with Mr T. That was including my father-in-law's staff discount though so probably a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourniquet Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Crazyness !!!! I know a stock spoiler was about £800 so I wouldn't be surprised. Toyota customer services are shite though so be patient. Im still waiting for a call back on a price on something and Im not holding my breath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I looked into a few things at work, for the uk spec bonnet and everything needed it was close to £1400 ( I pay stock plus 5%) got mine for £150 in red in the end of a member on here! Also checked for an active front spoiler with motor,mechanism and undertray etc, £1700! Paid £100 for mine And black vinyl roofliner out of a facelift , £700 without visors! Paid £19 for mine Toyota prices are stupid for some parts, but things like facelift rear lights are a very good price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Well, you see, I had a bit of a bump this afternoon and I'm in need of a bumper and bonnet. Have spoken to both my insurers and the garage which will be involved and they have said that if the cost of aftermarket parts totals less than the cost of stock toyota replacement parts then I could opt for the aftermarket. In other words, if Toyota are >£800 for a bonnet, I'd get a Seibon carbon one from Whifbitz. If Toyota are >£732 for a front bumper, I'd get a replica Ridox with carbon lower section from Whifbitz. I'll get in touch with Toyota tomorrow and find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 The car is old and out of production, the parts are hardly produced anymore and are just selling off world stock so theres 90% of the expence, not to mention the car was 40k plus from new. Some of the big parts are cheaper than modern day bmws and mercedes though. It maybe a cheap car to buy now but doesnt mean that parts will be, i dont understand why people expect them to be On another note bumpers are roughly £400 but they come painted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 I never said I expected them to be! I was just wishing to see if anyone knew how much they came to for the sake of insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I wasnt taking a dig mate, it just seems the general attitude towards cost of parts on here thats all Wasnt directed at you. Im pretty sure they come for about £400, id probly get one a little less with my dealer. Saying that i got a rear bumper which was mint condition, just needed painting the same colour as my car, for £30 posted off ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Ah, no worries mate With regards to the prices - is it bad I kinda hope they are greater than the Whifbitz prices so I can make the relevant changes? We shall see how it pans out. I will post the prices as I get them for reference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 When I my front bumper replaced, it cost the other guys insurance about £700 all in for a new bumper and spray, headlight washers, number plater holder, number plate and labour. That said, they charge less for the UK bumper. Must be the headlight washer holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin J Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Tried Steve Manly for prices also? Worth an ask.... Oh - and also the price I was quoted was for a JDM bonnet... the UK with scoop may be more I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Mine is an SZ-TT. JDM bumper and bonnet. I'll keep everyone up to date as this goes, either in this thread or in my "project" thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure you can get bonnet and bumper off a Breaking car bud for pennies these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdistc Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Perhaps not that relevant, but I've price checked the US for brand new front bumpers - $250 odd USD. Obviously, the shipping will be relatively expensive, but I reckon the combined cost - compared with the local Toyota cost - was definitely worth considering back home in Australia (and shipping to there is much more expensive than to here!).

Kopite Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I know that back in 2004, the invoice for a stock UK bumper delivered was circa £1100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
