Black PBT MK2 Rear saloon bumper
As above, new bumper needed please! With bodykit preferably bur not essential
|
What did you do?
|
Nothing! (this time) The clips supporting the bumper decided to release it at 60mph. I now have a 10" split from the corner down!
|
|
That's pretty trashed, damn cheap clips :angry:
|
That looks nasty, will keep a look out for you mate
Sent a link to one on the Bay but don't think they deliver- no harm in asking though. |
Yeah, can't see it lasting either!
|
Oh, and can someone link me to new clips that will grip! ?
|
Is the plastic bracket in the driver side rear wheel arch broken as well, that makes the whole thing go floppy.
|
Now that you mention it, yes! Kat broke that when she reversed in to the neighbours car! Would that cause it to pop out of the clips though?

If the bracket is broken it may increase the chances of the bumper pulling out of the clips, I only found mine had broken when I was washing the car and noticed the bumper seemed to be floppier than normal, Sheddist made new brackets from aluminium bar which work a treat and are really easy to make and fit, the link for them is on xpf I think.

Link for the brackets http://forums.xpowerforums.com/showthread.php?t=30108

Cheers Pete, sadly too it the too late as will need a new bumper! Will ensure that its bracketed and fresh clips are attached.
|
Yeah, I was thinking more for the new bumper, I think yours is probably beyond saving, but if you can find a body shop that does plastic welding it may be possible to fix it.
|
Another option because you have duplex is mud flaps. They secure similiarly to the brackets that hold the bumper on.
In ebay as rally flaps |
Yeah, all options for sure. My real problem. Is sourcing a replacement bumper at the moment.
|
Even Facebook is proving useless for sourcing one! Damn rare bumpers!
|
|
The seller in Denmark again, lol
|
Wrong colour.............but http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mg-zs-mk2-...item3ce8f9f8cf
|
That's the issue. I don't want to have to pay £100s to respray a bumper!
|
Buy another black car Nick the bumper ,break the rest or strip for another track car.simples.
|
Have looked at that as a viable option Grimmy but not spending a grand or more for a bumper lol
|
Mk2 rear bumpers seem to be a nightmare to find, I looked for ages, and I didn't mind what colour it was, they just never seemed to come up.
|
Get one in any colour as Pete says and do the Clio rear diffuser mod then get it sprayed.
|
Then suddenly it's costing me £300-400 which is a quarter of the car value. That has to be weighed up. When a match comes up, it should cost me circa £100
