afreemason Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Hiya Guys, A bit of advice from the more techie inclined please: Madam had a twat in a lorry nudge the back of her Jap Spec NA. Obviously we're claiming off their insurance but we've been asked by the insurance assessor if there is any difference between a Jap Spec bumber (costing several hundred pounds) and a UK rear bumper costing only a few hundred. Anybody know the answer????? Also ...... are there any nice aftermarket bumpers that might be a "better" option than one of those nasty expensive Jap spec ones :eyebrows: :eyebrows: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 The UK bumper has a recess for the plate that is a more convential shape and it doesn't have a great big hole in it like the J-Spec ones do. I guess you could join the masses and get a Trial rear for the same money. http://www.megaboost.co.uk/supra/mine/week2/supra-10.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbonut Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 The trial would look good as long as there's enough clearance for your exhaust back box/tail pipe Lx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afreemason Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 For those of you offering free or cheap replacements ..... you're generosity and warm feels are very much appreciated BUT as we're going through someone elses insurance I'm sure you'll understand our wish to have ..... well..... new !!!!!!! ha ha ha ha I'd like to think the insurance company will fund a Trial rear bumper but the impression I'm getting is that a brand spanking new UK rear bumper will do the job so my hopes of an different yet financially more acceptable alternative for the insurance company is getting more unlikely !!!!!!! So ..... just to confirm ..... other than the different number plate space (which is a good thing) there is no reason why a UK spec bumper won't just bolt straight on to a Jap spec NA ???????
