    Default breakers yards

    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! ::

    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.

    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!!

    IF..... there was a GSi in my local scrappy it would have already been rinsed of anything half decent before i got there!
