Title: bumper
Post by georgeodyphotos on Feb 1^st, 2010, 9:47pm

Does anyone know the weight of an Ultima front bumper, for the purposes of a postage quote?

Also remember to check for the volumetric weight, due to its size it may be priced differently, but that depends on the courier.

How does one do that please? Also, does the bumper come with headlamp washers fitted? as one of mine dissappeared after the impact.

Measure the external dimensions eg length width and height,find a courier agent on the internet,put in weight and measurements where directed and press the quote button,there are usually several options at varying prices.

There are far more front bumpers without washers than with,they are a pest anyway !

Thanks and yes Gozz, your second point is true, but the Cosworth is fitted with them and I want to preserve the integrity of the car. Also, there are air vents,supposedly for brake cooling on the Cozzie bumper. Incidentally, why are the washers a pest?

All facelift cars have the flat top bumper with little vents in,they are not peculiar to Cossies.The washers are just something else to give bother,and if the lamps are covered in dried mud they wont shift it anyway.
