Front Bumper And Lower Spoiler Costs

[Gibbo_R35]

Hi guys just thought I would give you a heads up incase you damage you lower spoiler and need to get it replaced. I had my bumper scratched including the lower spoiler by a Valet car park attendant. They agreed to cover the costs, however the quote I have got to get this done is amazing:

Front Bumper: $2768 (Supply Only)

Front Bumper Lower Spoiler: $2058 (Supply only)

This is without painting. Total repair is $7440.00 with painting, fitting etc. Makes the $999 ebay one quite attractive.

The scratch is not that bad, but the car was new before they did it and as such it is going to be new after the repair.

Lesson: Treat the car with care...repairs are expensive

lol, hope you get to keep the old one too.... then you now have a "track" front end and a "road" front end. or should that be "valet" front end and "Jeff" front end....

I've scratched the bottom of my front lower (lip) spoiler, and i am sure lots more scratches to come!

Out of interest, do you have a part number for the lip spoiler and where can you get them (direct from Nissan?)

If I ever damage my Lower Spoiler, or maybe even sooner, I am bying a CF one-piece for less than half that price to match my new rear wing and bonnet scoops.

If we added up all the component replacement parts Nissan deems so precious, this car would be worth $10 Million in a knocked down form. Then you pay the dealer $200 per hour to put it all together and it will take them a year....

How about this item?

yeah, might as well go for the upgrade seeing as it is getting paid for by someone else.

Quality and fit are good. Bonnet scoops on already, rear wing will be done on Saturday.

I will post better pictures in full daylight tomorrow.

I will give everyone vendor details and prices once I know these things actually fit. I don't want to give them any more

business until these pieces are confirmed 100%.

They "cunningly" replicate everything with quite an amazing degree of accuracy and perfect finish at 1/3 -1/2 the price of Mine's, Zele etc..

I don't necessarily want all their CF gear at once, but they have Front Spoilers, Bonnets, Boot Lids, two types of rear wing (OEM type you see here and elevated Mine's-type without centre post and brake light), Front Fenders, Fender vents, Engine Covers, Radiator Covers, Side Skirts, the lot!

Carbon looks great on these cars. I just saw a huge pile of carbon bits waiting to go on a new R35 here in Adelaide.

The guy has purchased just about everything from the password JDM catalog & will look awesome when finished.

I am usualy that way, but it was a last minute business meeting at a 5 star hotel in the City. I have never had issues before, however to their credit they owned up straight away and showed me where they had damaged the car, they did not wait for me to find it.

I do have a range of cars I could have taken, however I love to drive the R35, it has become my everyday car now...
