What front bumper cover?

What front bumper cover have you had success with? I’m in need of a front cover and don’t want to spend a ton. I can work with a body shop for a tighter fit. But what about mounting?

Most of the aftermarket bumpers fit poorly or lack provisions for fog lights and other options, finding a good condition OEM one would be best.

The ones that actually fit well are pretty expensive. My Leg Motorsports bumper fit flawlessly out of the box, but it also costs $3500 after shipping. My carbon guy here in the states has molded it, but he only does dry carbon, and will only sell it for around $3000 plus shipping.

the original factory one is quite cheap, the main cover any way. It’s all the trim and lip pieces that add up to a small fortune.

I just picked up a Orion front bumper for my s2 and it fits pretty good. Was only $250

Does anyone know the exact part number for an actual R3 bumper? I've scoured the internet for the exact part number, but I haven't found it on any of the forums I've read. I ordered part F1Y7-50-03XB-BB with the description "Larger Spoiler, Without Headlight Washers, Prime" assuming this was the R3 but now that I have it I'm not sure... I don't notice the lip around the Grille...

You know what? I ordered the correct thing but the dealership shipped me the wrong thing! They also shipped me the wrong energy absorber piece as well! I AM VERY ANGRY THAT I KEEP BEING SENT THE WRONG PARTS BY DEALERS!!! I PAID FOR THESE EXACT PARTS, I EVEN ASKED IF YOU HAD THEM IN STOCK! I SUPPLIED THE EXACT PART NUMBERS, AS SEEN ON THE RECEIPTS! I WAIT A MONTH FOR SHIPPING, AND I OPEN THE BOXES TO "SURPRISE!" NOT WHAT I ORDERED!

I am now sad and angry. I think I will just go to sleep and wait until the dealers open tomorrow morning.

All OEM parts have the part number located somewhere on the back of the part. I have received parts that were correct on the invoice but an inspection of the part showed a different number.

well there’s usually a big sticker displaying it on new replacement parts too

if they sent out the wrong part it's a bit inexcusable on something like a bumper cover imo.

Yeah, that's exactly what happened to me. I order the R3 bumper F1Y7 and received F1Y9 GT bumper. Sadge. I shipped it back and getting a refund.
