Thinking about freshening up my 8 since i need some other work done. I like this style so my question is more about would you buy it if you liked it . seeing how it's coming from a seller in Poland(or another one I saw who is in the UK)

Also is this really just the AIT knockoff or the original do you think?

unless someone knows where this car is hiding so i can snag this bumper...

Contact Bulletproof Automotive, you might be surprised at how cheap a legit bumper is. The Autoexe SC bumper I am getting cost $1300.00 shipped.

I contacted Bulletproof Automotive regarding the new Vision bumper fitting a series 1... which they contacted LEG motorsports and confirmed it would - based on the picture I don't see how as the fender to bumper lines are different.

you gotta change the fenders too for the vision one to fit on series 1 cars. did bulletproof give you a price?

Not according to Bulletproof Automotive - I specifically asked that question...will the bumper fit up to the OEM 2004 fenders, and they said yes

zoom44 11-16-2016 01:13 PM

im asking too. be great if they had it in a version that fit series 1 fenders. that'd make me happy. did you get a price?

We did an S2 R3 conversion on a 2005 here locally, to run the S2 bumper you will need the headlights, fenders, front crash bar and plastic bumper retainers.

There is some simple wiring to do as well for the side markers on the S2 fenders.

My 2004 and his 2005.

thanks for that. couldn't remember if you needed the headlights or not. what did that cost roughly?

If the bumper is made of fiber glass I imagine id be way easier, and definately cheaper, to just modify if to fit...
