Question Source For Euro Bumbers???

For all of us NA owners that would love to have front and rear Euro bumpers it would be great to have a source for them here in the states. Or a good source overseas. I bet there would be a good market for these bumpers.

eBay.UK is where i got mine.

Shipping is as bad as you think ($100-150 US dollars). But the euro rear bumpers are next to worthless in the UK, you can get them for about $50 US. The fronts go for quiet a bit more.

Me too. Here is my thread on ebay/UK dealings: https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...ht=euro+bumper

I think my total cost was like 287 including brackets and shipping.

What's the difference between a euro bumber and a domestic bumber? Is the euro one picky about his food and wine and enjoys techno verses banjo music?

The state side version is much deeper and has the two gigantic rubber pieces. The euro bumper looks like: http://www.944online.com/cgi-bin/ASI...DailySpecials+

I think the Euro bumper doesn't shave its armpits.

These are modern times...some of them shave, some don't.
I would rather have a shaven bumper myself.

Yeah, I realized that when I saw another post by you with one in it. I didn't catch the tone of your voice through my screen.

If you put a euro bumper on your car, will it drive on the "wrong" side of the road?

Actually, the majority of Euro 944 bumpers are on LHD cars, just like those in the U.S.
