Auto Front bumper missing plastic, HELP!!!
 

Ok so before i got the car, the previous owner ran the front bumper into a curb several times, theres some scatches and missing paint on the bottom right fender. Heres the problem though, on 05' Auto RX-8s they only had 1 oil cooler, which is inside the left fender not right. The right had a plastic piece which was broken, i got it to stay for awhile but it finally fell out when i was driving and i heard the crunch... now im just wondering how i should fix it... should i get a whole new bumper? 2nd oil cooler? Try to buy a new plastic piece? The reason i say that is because down the line i wanta get the Front lip for the bumper but i cant right now because that black plastic piece broke off a little and the paint scuffs are bad and it would have to be sanded and reshot which is meh considering the condition of the bumper, and besides i dont even know if you can get a brand new plastic piece to the bottom of the bumper anyways so this is why im thinking 2nd oil cooler then after awhile a new bumper. Ill try to post pics of the situation

I appreciate any help...thanks

you could contact paul at mazmart for that piece?

also, i think the appearance package lip will cover those scrapes pretty nicely.

the question is i thought the front lip required part of that plastic piece that broke off, and keep in mind my front fender well is also torn out... >_<

Bump... any ideas on what i should do?

i may have the plastic peice you are looking for, let me get a pic of it when i get home and post it.

The part on the bottom is the splash shield:

I lost mine as well because all the front screws got pulled out of the bumper. Mounting may be a problem if it got torn out completely, as most of the mounting points may be damaged. I got clips to mount the screws to the bumper at a local hardware store. They're called U clips or J clips I think (and they come in many sizes.) I can't remember which part the plastic quarter-turn screw thingys are (or their name.. obviously,) but a human reviews all the orders from that site, so if you put in the notes that you need all the plastic screws for mounting, they should add the correct part to your order (that's basically what I did.)

I had also lost the large plastic piece under the radiator, and replacing that was a bit of a pain, but the splash guards are easy if you take the tire off.

ok, if its the splash shield u need like the one in the pic in the link ^^ thats not what i have, i have the peice that goes behind the bumper in lieu of an oil cooler. will post pics later.

Look it up here.

Contains illustrations & Mazda part numbers

looks very close to part 50-c12 on page 147 however i haven't looked at it in a while.

ok, so i got home only to realize i left my camera in my car (at shop getting new engine) but the part has a part number on it. f151-50c11 >pp+t20

its all good, ill try to post pictures of the damage if theres any to the car... im nervous >_<

You dont need that piece to have the Apperance package front lip.. Just get the Lip and install it. It will hide all that for sure. trust me I had a little damage on mine before i installed my front lip

btw im looking at the picture on page 147 and i would also need part number 51-9K0, or maybe its 50-122A

which piece are you talking about lilring??? The plastic piece where the 2nd oil cooler is supposed to be or this pic?
