Ph1 172 Owners please look



  Trophy #473
Just a quick one but as we all know a new front bumper from Renault is circa £600. I have the option of having OEM quality GRP items made, utilising the same mounting points etc.

The only reason Im mentioning this is because I have wrecked mine with the amount of wildlife that has jumped out on me! and I refuse to pay second hand and dealer prices! They will be made from GRP with a white gel coat and supplied unpainted. I can supply them painted at extra cost as spraying is something I do in my spare time.

Quote from the moulders; looking @ circa £200.

Anyone interested? I am having the mould perfected as we speak (at my own cost) so will have a GRP copy on my car in the next 2 weeks.

They will never fit as well as the std bumpers from Ren. It will make even more of a mess when you hit a badger at speed. Get some pics of it when you have it fitted mate... i would like to see how well they fit, how the gaps are etc.
 
the gaps on the Renault bumper are awful... so this is actually a chance to improve the fitment!

Yes it will make more mess but would you rather smash up £600 bumper or a £200 bumper. It will look identical to the standard 172 bumper and utilize the original fixing points. It will also come with the black plastic stickers on the sides of the grill like the original too.
Let me get one finished and sprayed and then we can all pass judgment. It will fit like the original as it is an exact mould.

Apparently not

I used to think this too till seeing a project thread on here. A lad had the same problem but just adjusted the bolts while a mate pushed the bumper inwards which sorted the gap problem.
