Piu Racing Front Bumper - 02/02/2006 20:30

Hi everyone,
it took me a while to get back on the new Forum

Does anyone know this bumper? The most important thing for me- is it lower than the standard bumper???

Radicz. How can I put a picture in here???

Mines a copied version of that purchased from an old forum member abroad......as far as I can remember, only me and Busa got them!!!!

Anyway heres a pic from the front, and the good news is that, no, it's no lower than the standard bumper, which was a big issue for me too........

I really like that. Fits the shape of the nose.

Still not sure which I prefer, that or cadamuro.

I measured mine before and after fitment of the new bumper (to check it'd make it down my drive way!!!!!!), and it's as near as damn it the same......

IMO, Busa's is the nicest looking Broom Yellow coop on this site.....and I'm proud to have the same front bumper as him!!!!!

Wow.

I like that. First bumper I've seen that I like, looks slightly rounded compared to the other PIU's.

Where is this available from, and what price would this roughly be?

maybe a group buy may be possible if we get enough interest

Ive asked Csaba(Tocsa) for a price for shipping to the UK for a single unit already and am awaiting a response.

Ill post up more info when i get it. And no, i wont do a grop buy

but i would probably take part in one if someone organised one..

Re: Piu Racing Front Bumper - 09/02/2006 18:01

Perhaps we should be looking at a group buy for these. Looks like a lot of interest, me included.

Re: Piu Racing Front Bumper - 09/02/2006 18:31

Thats strange.......as when Tosca originally sold them in a group buy, it was only Busa and I that actually went for it......

Never mind, I can understand why everyone wants one, as I'm really chuffed with mine!

Im mainly after it for the cooling really

Re: Piu Racing Front Bumper - 09/02/2006 20:56

Busa - did you have to modify the PIU bumper to get it on over your FMIC mate?

Any chance you know the dimensions of your FMIC without asking you to measure it?

What's the Bumper made from - how easy would it be to cut away bits of the inside if needed to fit?

still no news on whether it's lower than standard? I can't measure my car as it's with Barbz at the moment.... Busa - is your car standard ride height or lowered?

I seem to remember that last time there was a group buy on these they were quite expensive + involved a fair bit of shipping hasstle...

Re: Piu Racing Front Bumper - 09/02/2006 23:08

Its no lower than standard suba from what i saw of Busa's it should be fine, you'd catch your cat on a speed hump and such like more likely...

Re: Piu Racing Front Bumper - 10/02/2006 00:06

I have to go over speed bumps sideways (ish) anyway because of an intercooler pipe which is below the undertray + I've got a 30mm drop on the car. I also live in london - so lots of speed bumps!

I've not got a cat - just want to be sure.

what are these bumpers made from BTW?

Re: Piu Racing Front Bumper - 10/02/2006 02:58

yeah i had to cut the top of the bumper away to fit the fmic but the bottom is ok

the dimensions are 470x300x68 mm (Core Size) / 680x330x68 mm (Whole Size)

also my car is lowered 30mm and just measured the bottom of the bumper to the ground and its 160mm

its made out of fibreglass but is well made and a good thickness

Kev - how easy is it to cut into?

Re: Piu Racing Front Bumper - 11/02/2006 03:20

not too bad i just used a hacksaw and keeped changing the blade round to get into the corners, found if you cut right down the sides of the mounting points that stick up and across just infront of the holes the grill fits into you are somewhere near just a bit more here and there and its done
