Front Euro Bumper Swap

[Japandrew73]

For those who haven't been following my project thread, I have been going paycheck to paycheck ordering brand new OEM parts for the front bumper and finally installed it yesterday. Here are the pics:

The End.

Living paycheck to paycheck for brand new oem bumpers is worth it? (depends on age I suppose)

How much did all of this brand new cost you? VS. 400 for front and rear used if you hold out for a good deal.

Anyways, looks very good indeed.

WOW, did you get that bumper from bmw as well? it looks MINT, cant wait to see how this car turns out. what are your plans?

I used a really good strategy to get all the parts. Bavauto Recycling sells the chrome center piece new on ebay for $125 shipped. I got the chrome side pieces new from a guy selling them in Britain for like $60, and I got the mounting kit, turn indicators, and trim pieces for about $150 from Blunt who gets me discounted new OEM parts. (Props to him). I did this in the smartest way possible, or at least I'd like to think so.

it was roughly $350 for all of it. It is brand new though and makes all the difference. And ya i don't need to be spending my paychecks on anything else cause i'm still with my parents so its worth it to put it towards what I love.

Yeah, when I first looked at the pics I thought it was your house. And I'm like shouldn't someone with a house and multiple cars not spend all their money on a euro bumper? Then I realized... my bad. Fuck yeah, looks good and not TOO expensive either. Do the back, now!

PROPS TO THIS MAN RIGHT HERE! ^

Project could not have been done without him :D


I would do the back bumper right now, but I already put a deposit on a Euro Valence so I'll get the valence next, then euro fogs, then rear bumper.

The front looks beautiful, keep up the good work man!

Nice. I rolled with a rear DB for almost a year, I think, before I found a rear euro bumper. You must show me how to rescue paint like that someday...

Needs a valence/lip :p
