Is anyone likely to have a front bumper, or any breakers I could try?

Any suggestions please

There's one on the bay, I'm sure you've seen it, and needs some repairs...

I don't know how they are fixed exactly, but yes they can. To what degree, I don't know.
I've had both my first Monaro and current one have minor bumper repairs and I was and am unable to see where the damage was.

Yeah, it wouldn't be my £750 either. Greedy seller IMO.
£750 if in good condition and maybe just needed paint.

Walkinshaw did have them new unpainted for £1,000.

This was a couple of years ago though.

Have you tried Brett or Gary they break Monaros. I got a front bumper for a VXR8 off of Gary a few years ago for £750.

Not sure if this helps…

Unpainted, new but been in storage…

https://jhp.com.au/shop/exterior-accessories/holde...

AU$577 + shipping - no idea what that might work out to be in GBP total, poss less than 750

The front bumper on eBay is the one from the ASM car with £300 profit for the reseller….

No wuckas - was really pointing out that stuff over here might be cheaper and/or easier to find, and just leaves shipping to sort.

Also Gumtree has a big following in Aus too, 30sec search found this…




Again, not sure if it’s quite right but AUD450 is about GBP250…

Surely you can repair it for much less than that?

If the bumper has only got cracks in it and its all there just get it repaired by a competent plastic welder.

I think its to badly damaged to be honest, if any one knows a specialist I can get in touch and supply pictures to see if its fixable.

once again thanks for all your replies
