basch32 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Hi all, Unfortunately my Trial rear bumper with Carbon skinned diffusor got cracked in half and I'm looking for a replacement. If anyone knows of a place I can get one with proper carbon skinning or suggest an alternative to replace it with. Pretty devastated as it matched the car perfectly and struggling to find a replacement that works aesthetically for me. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I can't help with your thread im Afraid other than suggesting garry to reskin one for you. His work is brilliant. However if you would be willing to cut out the exhaust corner and ship it I'd by that part. Wanted to make a carbon exhaust surround for a trial rear for a while.

Delboy52 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Grams Styling made my carbon diffuser rear bumper several years ago but I wasn't happy with the bond position where the lower section meets the upper. MK4Gaz (Gary) skinned mine afterwards but didn't fancy doing another. Maybe Grams have imporoved their process since mine. Or you could contact them and ask about it. https://gramsstyling.co.uk/product/toyota-supra-trial-style-rear-bumper-with-diffuser/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I want to chance it being poor quality, my other option is a Top Secret/Shine Auto diffuser and standard rear bumper. But doe feel the Trial is nicer overall aesthetically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basch32 Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 What's the quality like with the knight racer trial bumper? The fit of the Grams is good as is the Knights one. This was only related to the carbon skinning, if getting a simple fiberglass there doesn't appear to be any issues with the gram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy52 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I got in touch with the guy that runs Grams and he said they've changed the bonding issue between materials I spoke of earlier. I raised it years ago that the bond line was on the most prominant edge and it seems they've taken that feedback and improved it. He said he'll send some photos over so I'll post up here when they arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy52 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Sorry for the delay. These are Gram's latest revision of the Trial rear carbon diffuser which I'm told is their best yet. The carbon goes into the upper lip recess and beyond some more (painted white in these shots). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
