jayrishi Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Ok so I've been looking for a rear bumper for a while and after going japfest I've decided to go for the chargespeed. Now I need some help on where to source I know rt performance sell it but what is that quality like? And I've also seen Amazon sell it apparently oem. Has anyone had brought it off amazon? Any help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirag1988 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I messaged the guy who bought it off amazon but deleted the thread as my inbox was getting full. He said the bodyshop still had trouble with fitting it though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirag1988 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 If you're buying it from RT and having them fit it then it really shouldn't be an issue for them as it's their own replica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I bought a replica from RT and wasnt that impressed with the work necessary to fit vs purchase price, in the end it cost the same as buying an original inc fitting, in hindsight i would have bought original. I also note another member had similar concerns around about the same time i purchased mine or shortly after. Get a fitted price from RT if i was you so you can budget.

Payco Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 My chargespeed from RT is a superb fit and I know others feel the same way. It will need fettling and to be honest RT are the best to do this for you. They fitted and painted mine originally and re modded it again to show off my ARK Grip. Some photos for you below of their work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 My chargespeed from RT is a superb fit and I know others feel the same way. It will need fettling Interesting that today in another thread re chargespeed bumper, you wrote "its a needs a fair bit of fettling to fit" That doesnt sound like a superb fit to me if it needed said fair bit of fettling to make it that way. Not picking holes at you but the question the op asked was in relation to quality, if it needs a fair bit of fettling, i wouldnt say the quality is that good, would you?

Payco Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) It is a quality bit of kit believe me but it needs fettling around the number plate light and if you want an oem like panel gap all the way round it will need tweaking as does any fibreglass.

Any help would be appreciated I'm pretty sure that was me you spoke to at Japfest in the queue then? haha Genuine copy from Amazon - a Thread somewhere on here about someone who bought one from Amazon, fitted fine and had the CS seal of approval init. I bought mine of Amazon, it definitely did fit fine eventually.. as I'll explain below.. I messaged the guy who bought it off amazon but deleted the thread as my inbox was getting full. He said the bodyshop still had trouble with fitting it though... Yea that was me, to be honest I think it was the bodyshop just trying to make excuses for why they hadn't finished the job sooner. Basically when they first began to fit it, they said it looked rough, so they were good enough to smoothen the rough edges etc.. Then one day they rang me saying they couldn't fit it, so I went over and tried myself and got it on first time with all the original mounts. So in hindsight, I wont be using that particular bodyshop again! However Since i managed to "fit" it for them, they finished the job, and it looks stunning. I haven't got a decent pic, will get one after I've cleaned the ol' girl! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) It is a quality bit of kit believe me I think i will believe what i saw with mine thanks and it was far from quality or a superb fit A bit of fettling or a fair bit of fettling are two different things though Original @ £305 is a steal: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Charge-Speed-0260-Bumper-Nissan/dp/B00DOPIGBS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1432743214&sr=8-1&keywords=350z+chargespeed Edited May 27, 2015 by Jetpilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
