That was not with a factory bumper...Wonder if the "broken" factory RS2 bumper is still on RW's
balcony? The Al beam is large, and carries mounting holes to work with the impact dampers. Taper/cut the ends to fit the euro factory bumper, and all you have is a heavy-**** bumper cover with no impact absorption ability. You people are forgetting that the euro bumpers mount closer to the frame rails. The glass/GRP aftermarket bumpers don't have the added pedestrian-friendly substrate that is integral to the plastic factory pieces. Thus, you can glass/bondo in mounts for the factory impact dampers and aluminum beam.

Well i do have a couple friends with rally cars
Just hope that one of them has a torch or something good for cutting. Maybe take it to a shop and give them the specific cuts i want made. But still have to find the 1200 for the damn bumper.

He's talking about an S2, but all that stuff is expensive due to the exchange rate.
Back when I bought my stuff 5 years ago, it was actually more than it is now from most venders. No one was really importing the bits to any great degree. I think mine was one of the first of the 20v's from 20v.org to get an S2 nose. Brandon Hull's car was done around the same time I think. Ramana had an aftermarket RS2 bumper and Noethelle B4-look grille. That was about it. Now there are a LOT more S2 and RS2 nosed CQ's and B4's running around.

Koop is right B.C. on a factory Euro bumper you can't keep the rebar..that only works with Dietrich
Reiger, Oettinger and any other aftermarket body-parts manufacturer.
