[Mk2] [Generic] Looking to change front bumper..ideas ?

[JayZee]

Ok, so currently my front bumper looks like this.. I like it, but with coilovers etc the car is to low with that Rogue Revision 6 lip on it..



So looking at other options.. opinions on these two below or suggestions on others :th:

My personal opinion?

No. Keep it tidy, nice, clean.

Not berserker and ricey.

If a lip is too low, and you want a change, try a 3SFE bumper. ?

both of those look like youd have problems and also look like gash

why not maybe raise the car up a bit if its slammed on coilovers. tbh overly lowered mr2s dont handle very well anyway

Well if you ask me....

The front lip you have is fine (Greddy copy lip) IF you have the rest to follow it up.

There are loads of bumper kits for the SW20 -some care required In my mind anyway to match sideskirts and rear bumper also to make it follow through the whole profile of the car.

Lots of people just look at one part and it looks out of place (lots and lots of people with other mrques quite happy with mis-matched looks).

If you're looking at kitting my best advice is not to change something just because. But to step back, look at the lines and pick something compplimentary. For me the best bumper BAR NONE EVER is a Bomex bumper but it does need some other mods to support it.

There is so much on internet regarding SW20 body kits it's unreal -have a trawl what's out there then go on google as to whats there to buy.

Looking at the front of your car i have to say that lip is real poo,
so sell it me
Really it looks better than the other two photos you listed,but thats just my opinion.

I have a border front on mine,which i'm changing for this 3sfe one,


just needs a nice front lip on it now,ahem....

The border copy is fibreglass , its not as substantial or forgiving as the Toyota plastic ones,they bend and give a little whereas the fibreglass just crack when knocked or you get stress fractures with a combination of
lowered suspension and speed bumps.

Another thing to remember is some of these fronts dont allow all of the plastic undertrays ,and/or wheel arch liners to be fitted,as in my cars case.

Is that a 3sfe bumber there? Surely there are gaps in the centre bar for fogs? With a rev2 lip?

What does the rest of the car look like? Pics please.

hi,
I think it shows gaps right and left for fogs,click on the pic.
The engine was a 3sfe with auto box.

I cant remember what rev it was,
engine ripped out,car crushed and baled last week, its a 3ft cube on its way to china now.

saved all the best bits of interior though

I agree with what RST says I have bomex front on mine, but only because I crashed the original one, but in my eyes it really needs side skirts and spats to match as the front bumper does sit very low and it looks out of profile from the side
