Beans Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Most TR7/8 suppliers in the UK can get you fibreglass bumpercovers as per non-US of A spec (which means they come in three parts per end). As they are meant as replicas for the original plastic covers there are no fixing points. You only have to make some brackets to to fit them to your car, but that shouldn't be a problem. And ofcourse you have to bond the three pieces together, but as it's GRP that also easy.Try S&S Preparations or RobsportEuhh by the way ... is your car growing a Rhino-nose ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 They are bumper covers, so should go over the original (and very heavy) steel bumper bar. So the last thing you want on a drag racer .... :-/That 's why it is better to bond some brackets on the inside of the covers as a (much lighter substitute for the bumper barsBy the way, if I'm correct the US and Rest-Of-The-World bumperbars are not interchangable.
