I assume the cyclist will be the one paying for a new bumper since you gave him the gift of life by not running over his clumsy arse?

What about the bumper from INGS? Pretty nice for the A~C series! Otherwise I have a used Spec B bumper for sale! Unfortunately it's for a MY07-08. All that's required to fit it is MY07-08 headlights, grille, and fenders. :D

+1

Looks the goods!

Gives the front end a more aggressive look, but doesn't make the car stick out as modified. To the untrained eye it still looks factory.

Not sure.. From police car are looks like somewhere in USA… Probably either drunk, too old or on a rampage.. I saw the aftermath of something similar when I was living in West End Brisbane a few years back.. I was walking to work and a massive group of bikes rode past.. As I turned the next corner I saw carnage.. There were bikes everywhere.. I am talking up trees, in people’s front yards, strewn all over the road.. No cars involved thou, just someone up the front stacked it going around the corner..

This thread here involves the saving of the life of a cyclist by swerving into another vehicle and mounting a curb at high speed in order to not run him over, thus not ending his affinity for lycra.

accident number one is explained here..

Anyone got any contacts in regards to getting a JDM Spec B front bumper? I got a quote from japan parts and the shipping was ridiculous (+$900).
