Bumper options..

- I'm not a fan of the TRD trim
- I've purchased the TTE bumper & valance - but am wondering if it isn't 'different' enough to warrant £400+ getting it all sprayed and fitted.
- I really like the Legana bumper...but the FRP version looks like a total ass to get the grilles and lights fitted.
- Most of the other front lips look like Bruce Forsyth's chin.
What do you guys all do for aftermarker bumpers? Basically I want something a bit different from the 'norm' but as you all know, sourcing such items is quite difficult.

But they seem to have far too many IS200 bumpers for it to be true. I'm sure I would have heard of them before now if they were legit
Oh also forgot to mention that I found these guys:

Aren't they all FRP though? The TTE is pretty rare to be honest, I don't see other cars with them that often, a genuine Legana would be the best but that's serious cash.........

Yeah. I'm not totally against FRP. Its just that some manufacturers seem to make a lot more effort to provide decent fixing points for mesh/lights/etc than others do.
The FRP Legana bumper I purchased a while ago looked pretty good, but I just couldn't see any decent way of fixing some quality mesh on there. No thicker areas for drilling into, no flat surfaces for bonding to..etc. Only thing that would have stayed put was lightweight crappy chicken wire mesh.

Fair enough, P.Lindblom fitted a replica Legana to his car, needed some minor modification I think but from the pictures the end result was stunning - might be worth looking for his thread as to where he got it from as he doesn't put anything on his car unless it's great quality
