sss107 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hi there, I need to replace my damaged Nismo 1 bumper but was looking at other aftermarket bumPers before I go ahead, are there any aftermarket bumpers that are plastic instead of the usual fibreglass? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 i think the aerosync version is a plastic bumper ask stew he has one. but they aren't cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Shine Auto ones aren't plastic but are a flexible type of composite material so can handle some knocks and deformations. Again not cheap though Front Bumper is circa £400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Shine Auto are FRP not fibreglass according to P15ULT viewtopic.php?f=38&t=43354 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 FRP = Fibre reinforced plastic slightly different from GRP = Glass Reinforced plastic all come under the same heading of fibre glass. FRP has a little more flex to it than GRP but still suffers similiar problems, my guess is the OP wanted something made from ABS which most car bumpers are made from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
