Dammit, first accident ever. Luckily it was only minor. Hit the back of my friends motorbike at a roundabout, thought he was ready to go as it was relatively clear and he stopped, ended up hitting the back. His bike is basically undamaged, but it looks like I need a new front bumper.

The good news is I was going to change my front bumper next year, so I guess it's just an early upgrade. Do I need to get a Series 1 Reo for most front bumpers? I don't want to go Series 2 again. Also, can someone link me to a decently priced aftermarket bumper? I love the GTR look but from what I've seen I'll also need to change the bonnet and quarter panels.

The good news is that its just the front bumper, the better news is that your mate it ok after getting hit by 1.5 tonne of metal

Well that's true haha. Luckily it was only at a few km/h, and not something more serious.

I think I've also decided on the Top Secret bar as well, seems to be the closest to the GTR while not costing an arm and leg.

East bear looks better...

[viper2002]

It does, but it's incredibly difficult to source and from what I've seen costs $1000+ :\

I think the Top Secret bar looks pretty decent:

Mmmm east bear

My car was broken into on Saturday night. Doesn't help the I left the keys in the ignition on Saturday and forgot them in there overnight.

The only taken was about $20 in coins from the centre console. I consider myself lucky.

i cant believe i missed this thread: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/447336-nrma-vintage-and-classic-insurance/page-5

I might give http://enthusiast.com.au/, http://www.racv.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/racv/Internet/Primary/insurance/car+insurance/veteran,+vintage+_+classic and http://www.lsvinsurance.com.au/ a call... see if they'll do the pulsar (16 years old wew) or consider a personal import a classic if under 15 years...

Problem is that most people think of Pulsars as grandma's runabout... and don't understand their track monster status in the real world

[Leroy Peterson]

... and don't understand their garage queen status in the real world

fixed.

What you need is the headlight supports. (the black bits). The reo bar, the actual big massive metal bit in the middle is the same part for series 1 and 2. The headlight supports are different. A lot of people refer to the headlight supports as "the reo bar" or part of the whole assembly, so the whole "is it the same or different" can both be answered with "Yes" depending on who you ask.

(and of course I have a front bar and reo for sale but its all series 2 )

I'm tempted to start asking for new car suggestions, but I don't want to jump off a bridge, which I will be forced to do when Leroy suggests a Pulsar

No bites / sightings / leads at all on the 65 Facebook shares of your 33?
