front bumper on the bay

thinking of buying this bumper of ebay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FIAT-COUPE-FRO...=item1c28c483df

has anyone baught one of these? if so what condition did it arrive in? and was it a good fit?

my bumper has a lot of stone chips and i would like a zender style bumper

better off with a zender bumper from www.autods.net as the quality and fit will be spot on -

The GRP front bumpers are more liable to stone chips or cracking than the original plastic versions, I'd go for a plastic bumper if possible although it's not easy to find an original plastic zender bumper now.

ok, thanks for the advise guys

Thanks also for the info, guys. As I'm (my insurer) also in the market for a new bumper and bonnet due to someone reversing up the street and into the front of my Coupe.

As bonnets are now made of "unobtainium" what are the fibre glass bonnets (as per the link above) from Poland like?

Don't know what they are like as I haven't seen one but you can get a fibreglass bonnet from here - http://www.deltaparts.co.uk/index.asp?itemID=264 - UK based and cheaper than the Polish ones

You are righr, AutoDS one costs for fccuk 545 GBP, but more important is how it fit, materials, finishing, really strong fixings etc.. Coupe this is very fast car..

Bought one of these. Pain in the arse to fit. There are no fixing holes so all have to be drilled out including the slots for the lights. Fitment wise isn't great but that might be down to my front mount being stupidly big.

I also had problems with the primer they used. I had to repaint it 3 times due to the paint bubbling. In the end I sanded the whole lot off and used my own.

Still what do you expect for the price.

Didn't realise about the FCCUK price - I guess I should join but I have never been sure I would keep the Coupe, maybe after nearly 10 years ownership I should commit I fully understand about the price and quality ratio though which was why I said I hadn't seen the UK one so couldn't comment about the quality.



Assuming you are talking about the deltaparts bonnet that is good to know - they are based pretty close to me so I was thinking I would go along and try to see one but sounds like I should maybe think Polish!
