Question Any ideas on this bumper?

Hope this works

If it does, has anyone an idea what front bumper this is?
From Japan obviously, searched loads of photos but haven't seen one like it anywhere.

Thanks

Well doesn't look like it worked properly, can anyone tell me why?

I'm guessing the software isn't keen on some of the symbols?

definitely based on the Scooby bumper, but i don't think its a blended splitter - the shape around the fog light recesses is non-standard (i.e. no slats under indicators). and you notice there is part of the bumper protruding from under the indicator. unsure what it is or who makes it.

Looks quite similar in style to that one, some slight differences though but could be an older model.

It is an all in one bumper, not a splitter and definately not a standard scooby 'top half'.

I take it you don't know what make it is though? I had a couple of scrapes off curbs and multi storeys with it being so low.

Pic would be good.

That front splitter is the Greddy / Trust front splitter, not the Prova one.

In the past looked at getting them for my car. Prova one gettable, but at a phenominal cost by the time it's exported from Japan. No uk. stockist!!!

The one in the picture - Greddy, is easily gettable if you ask around, but currently a bit of a wait. Reason I deceided against, is that it is VERY low!!! Once on car, almost scrapes ground. (Would have serious probs clearing speed bumps).

On closer inspection, not sure it is the Greddy - but it's a damb good impression !!
Almost identical, but on a different model "base" bumper.
Pics are on Greddy's web site (look up on google), sorry don't have the link.

That looks like the same one to me, still no closer to knowing what make it is though...similar to the greddy/trust one maybe an earlier design.
