You can always just fill in your US bumperette holes.

I have been advised not to do this to a car that sees track time, can anyone confirm/deny this modification will stand up to some flexing?

thx

Sunset can get 'em. I assume you would get Euro turbo. My regular Euro is taking FOREVER!

I haven't been to the track with mine yet, but if it is done right, it should hold up unless you like to give others the "Nascar Nudge"!

LOL No nudging here... Looks like I have a new project to start on.

Thanks for our input.

I was amazed that the euro turbo bumper from Gert only took 5 days from order date, to deliver.

I was looking for a rear euro bumper. Sunset could get them ($1030 plus shipping), but would take 4 weeks from Germany. DPS motorsports had them in stock and matched Sunset's Price

I've been to the track twice. No worries. The stuff they fill it with is as flexible as the bumper itself. Hard drying Bondo days are long gone.

I'm also not sure how you could twist the car so hard that it would transfer to that area anyway.

Since you're gonna have the bumper painted at a shop anyway I would just have them fill in your original one.
