has any body tried these

TTE Bumper

i know they are replicas but are they any good ? i finaly have some money for one and carnt find a second hand one on eBay now.

Hope they are good as I've ordered the rear valance and side skirts from the same bloke :)

He's sold plenty and has good feedback so fingers crossed!

hmmm im not sure tbh. I have been thinking about this for a while. A friend of mine bought a replica kit for his celica not so long ago and tbh its not the best of fit, They use the orginal bumpers as moulds apparently so they end up either being a little too big or a little too small. after seeing his bodykit its definately put me off replicas

i was thinking about one myself a week ago. got quoted from the same seller 120 pounds for spraying to kensington green.

went down to my locally trusted bodyshop, the guy said he had fitted a number of replica kits off the internet, they are usually a nightmare to fit, not really worth getting it in his opinion.

hope someone who has bought this replica can share his/her experience!

Well 2 days after ordering my parts arrived this morning and very impressed.

The rear valance is a perfect fit and the same goes for the skirts, quality is not bad at all on the FG, couple of small bits where it's a bit thin but for a kit from eBay I'd give it a 10/10 and I've bought some right garbage from eBay!!

For the price and quality, recommend to anyone.

[todd69]

Not going to the bodyshop for a couple of weeks but I have test fitted the parts and they are perfect.

WARNING!!!

Please remember when ordering bodyparts to NOT sign for anything till you have opened the box and checked for damage, you may ***** the delivery driver but he's got to let you do it. If you get parts left at your neighbours, tell them to write NOT INSPECTED on the sheet if they are not going to open it.

ive ordered one and its currently in the shop getting fitted and sprayed so ill let you guy know how it goes

fingers crossed

[puma]

hope all goes well, would be nice to see one fitted, i have seen the original ones on TDI'S site for £375 would the diference be worth it?

[muddyell]

Get some pics up when fitted as im and definately interested. I'll probably give it a go at fitting it myself first tho

[DaveEdin]

I'd be interested to see how this goes as well - pics please mate! :)

Good fitment!!! :winky: looks great

[DaveEdin]

Looks pretty good to me too :)

looks good for a replica.

I have bought one of these replica bumpers and finally arrived yesterday after 10 days wait (as i asked them to paint it too)

i will let the pics do the talking

bad points:

1. despite being replica, fitting is not as bad as i thought, took me about 45 minutes to fit by myself, a LOT easier if you have extra pair of hands. you do have to bend the screw bracket on the wing a bit to fit.

2. cannot be mounted to the bottom tray, bottom of the bumper is no where near to the bottom tray, i may try to link it with a couple of thin metal plates.

3. fog lights will be quite a pain to put in, as the bumper is made by fibreglass, i.e. not flexible, the 'shark fin' clips on the fog light will be stuck halfway, so i think i will have to chop the clip off to fit.

4. there is no mounting points for headlight washer, you will have to cut holes and make your hole for mounting.

other than that, paint job is good, and not bad for a fibre glass replica at that price

i do have one question tho, where can you mount the horns? i made a misatake by mounting them on the metal armature - such a bad idea ;)

[murphy1059]

for a replica it looks gr8.you cant tell from the pics of the green 1. the only thing is i had a fiber glass front bumper on my old lex and i when i was turning round in the road the front hit the kerb (not hard) and it cracked the bumper and snaped one of the fixings.

i've orderded of this guy basically full kit... tbh you get wat you pay for my rear doesnt fully fit in the centre perfect to the bumper skirts, passenger side need abit more work to fit drivers side resonable but for the price i guess you cant complain still looks good... hope this helps

[TommyH]

This maybe a silly question but does the rear valance fit over youyr existing valance or does that have to come off ?

the rear valance fits over ur rear (standard bumper)

[TommyH]

Thanks Allan, considering this one or the TRD one, really prefer the TRD one as i have the TRD front spoiler and also TRD costs £175 from Lexus/Toyota

[jay_russell]

i dont think id ever buy a FG copy agian as iv seen the states they come in, im yet to see one that fits perfectly, and id also be weary of how good the paint match is.
