Looking for help....

Is there any chance someone can post me some good quality pics of what a mk 2 bumper should look like. Especially the lights and grill?

I've recently fitted the fibreglass Mk2 bumper that is being sold on fleabay and would like to match the origional grill / mesh.

I'll take some pics of what i've ended up with.

The fleabay item build quality is not good, needed some cleaning up with a dremel and screw fixings are shoddy.
According to the garage it was a pain in the a** to fit and gel coat is poor
lights are tacky plastic lenses with poor fitting bulb holders (probably sold for $2 each in china) I drove about 5 miles tonight before fog lights shorted out due to metal band around the +ve wire???

The good things about the bumper:

It weighs a fraction of what the old Mk1 plastic bumper weighs.... According to bathroom scales the new one is about 7kg didn't weigh the old one but it's surprisingly heavy

It's alot better than what I had before and from a few feet away it looks the dogs b****ks . I have always prefered the look of the MK2 nose job

At the end of the day I'm a happy camper. B is back on the road without the fear of loosing parts of the front bumper.... Damn speed bumps !!

Cheers !

Can't help with the Mk2 pics Wayne, but good to hear you're back on the road. Presumably, things better or, are you still driving around tanks?

Have a look at these Bumble. If you want anything more specific let me know. I've put them on Picasa because the quality's better. Good luck

Perfect doblo Just what I've been looking for, Thank You :worship:

Now I know what to look for.. just working on where to find it.

This is what I ended up with. Its actually fly screen it was either this or 1/4" square mesh.







As you can see in the pix the gap between the bumper and the front panel is not consistant... from a distance it looks fine and I figure it's as good as I'm gonna get here :bang:

Hi Desert Rat, glad the pix were of use. The fly screen mesh looks good and certainly not as agricultural as th original!
Give yourself a pat on the back or a large G&T (if you can get that where you are). Happy B'ing

Cheers doblo... The G&T will do just fine thanks

Bahrain is quite civilized most of the time... you can get a G&T or even a good pint of Guinness and a propper english breakfast including the bacon and pork sausage. Possibly the only country here where you can get both....

Not sure if i'm allowed to post this... If not Mods please delete or move to correct location.

Anyway been having a bit of a clean up today and due to the above mod it seems that I have a pair of front indicators surplus to requirements. If any one needs them to fix their car £10 for the pair plus postage from Bahrain (they are very light so I do not expect it to be too much) . Offer not open for anyone that want's to flog them on for proffit....

1 has some black overspray (most of which I removed with a bit of rubbing compound and 2 mins effort a bit more effort would remove the rest. The other was new about 2 years ago. I think it was about £25 from DTR.

Anyone interested in them send me a PM.

Could you copy and paste that into the 'for sale' section please?

Thanks Afroking I was not sure which is the correct area to post it in... only just saw the big title that says classifieds :bang: ( I really need to get out more)!!

Err, looked under model specific..... Why no Barchetta?? any chance we could get a new thread for the B, or should I post it elsewhere?

Many thanks

Under classifieds, if you click 'Parts for sale', then click 'Place an Ad'.

It will then automatically suggest Barchetta parts, just click 'Submit' and write up your ad.

Sorry to be a pain, its just a forum rule.
