TurboBrett Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 hi every one:) i have been doing loads of research, in advance of fixing the supe but there are a few questions i cant find answers too, 1)i think for now the front will go again, not spraying it but will be replacing it with either, top secret , do luck (no.2?) and i think there was one more but that style, i have read on this thread (and others)clickythat the crash bar needs to be removed on some, now from experiance i found it usefull:d and wanna keep it, so will the top secret front end deffinatly fit over it? (and any other that you have tried so i can eye them up:p) 2) i will buy a new front bumper support bar because i think it will be easyer to judge if all is straight when refitting everything, i have seen on lots of post they are 24quid but what do i actualy get see pic, (thanks to madmunky:)) and part numbers welcome:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 It's just a bit of alu box section about 4inx 2.5in that goes across the two points on your picture. I would not recommend using that to see if your chassis is damaged! If you're in any doubt, get it checked on a jig. It should be fairly obvious if they have moved as there will be crazing on the paintwork and sheet metal welded to the legs. Looking at your crash pics it seems like the impact was above the chassis legs, so I think you'll be okay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becks Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 The top secret bumper will fit straight on with the bar, Well mine did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at your crash pics it seems like the impact was above the chassis legs, so I think you'll be okay nah lol i wasnt too clear (dont think the pic helped) my alu bar is spot on not even a scratch, like you say the impact was at light hight so its the bar that the top side of the bumper where it screw/clips(what ever they was) and the bonnet meets the front that is bent i am trying to find out what its called the lines in the pick are from what madmunky put, on its the bars above and that seem to go round the light i am interested in can i get new they seem to un bolt?

Homer Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Sorry mate, got you now! Give me 15 mins and I'll get all the names and part numbers you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplavery Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I have the same worry.When i fitted my do-luck i had to remove the x member for the bumper to be fitted. I was worried so i spoke to a few people who had the same bumper and one bloke said some1 on here does a modded front x member for the do-luck bumpers. But i cant remember who it was. I remember when Gammer had his crash and he showed the pics. He had a Do-luck bumper on and he hit one of the sides and the chassie leg was bent right round. Im sure he said which i agree if he had the x member on it might of stopped the car from being a right off..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 As I've said several times now, it's just a very lightweight Alu bax section that will make bugger all difference to the chassis leg strength in an accident hard enough to fold it up. It will make a small difference in VERY low speed accidents, but it's main purpose is to protect the radiator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 53205-14110 SUPPORT SUB-ASSY, RADIATOR, UPPER -> This is the panel that needs welding to the inner wings 52029-14030 REINFORCEMENT SUB-ASSY, FRONT BUMPER, UPPER -> This is the lower panel 52021-14180 REINFORCEMENT SUB-ASSY, FRONT BUMPER -> This is the 'crash bar' I imagine the first part will be very expensive from Toyota, mnight be more cost effective checking if Jez has a straight one in stock.

jim_supra Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Just so you know, the 'slam panel' can be bought from Toyota for around £85 depending on what discount you can get from them, and the bumper support bar around £25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboBrett Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 Just so you know, the 'slam panel' can be bought from Toyota for around £85 depending on what discount you can get from them, and the bumper support bar around £25 the bumper support bar is the ally one, yeah? for £25 or is it the one in the pic i have circled? its tuch and go at the minute wether the slam pannel will be bent back in to place or replaced its only very slightly bent will have better idea and more (smaller) pics on sunday:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboBrett Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 ordered the upper bumper support bar today from toyota but the price the guy quoted was £84.97 any chance the price could have gone through the roof? i asked for 'REINFORCEMENT SUB-ASSY, FRONT BUMPER, UPPER' my exact words, hope hes ordered the right one, pick it up after wednesday wont be too happy if its not right:d want supe on road for chrimbo with or without new bonnet just need light and this bar, the bonnet is phooked but all straight minus the big dint:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra dan Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 that is for the ally box section, not the part the bumper mounts to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra dan Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 52029 is the part you need to mount the bumper to. same thing happened to me they ordered the wrong part. it was £80 for the ally box section i didnt need and £30 for the bumper support bar i did need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboBrett Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 52029 is the part you need to mount the bumper to. this is the part i asked for but was shocked when he said £85 if the ally one is £80-od and the part i need (below) is £30 (witch i was expecting) then i phooked up:( typical:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
