when we r start making custom bumpers we always start off with a basic one from a scrappers when modify from there. basically making it easier to get the bumper to fit properly

well after speaking with some1 on here i have been told that you can get a full genuine gsi kit (both bumpers and skirts) from a scrappers for ?50! :lol:

anyone know of any scrappers that ARE this cheap for genuine bumpers? because the cheapest i managed to find a gsi kit after ringing all over the counrty was ?100 with a slightly damaged front bumper,

am looking for good contacts for future bumper making efforts.

tryin to find a gsi kit at the scrappys must be like finding a ford that starts first time the gsi is quite rare the ones that are at scrap yards are more than likely bad right offs heavy frontend damage or sommit i think maybe try vauxspares in walton-on the naze there number is in fastcar mags at the back

a while ago i phoned a number and told them what i wanted, it costs about ?1 per minute, but they get in-contact with loads of other scrappys and then they phone u back and sell it to u, anyone know that number again? i forgot.

brand new gsi front bumpers from vaux are ?82

if making a modded one use a standard front bumper... the fixing and top section are the same... the bumper on ians nova was based on a mk1 saloon bumper!!
