GT430 Front Bumper and related Parts

[NorCalGT]

Looking for GT430 bumper - figured there might be a wrecked car that has decent front bits available. Must be willing to ship to USA.

@Jedifar sourced a huge amount of GT430 parts in the States so may be able to suggest some good suppliers.

@NorCalGT greetings from the other side of the pond forum!

I'm assuming you want the front bumper since you have a GT? You can also get a 410 bumper as they're essentially the same. I got mine from SouthWest Lotus Centre and they ship. Was fortunate enough to get a whole set with grilles and carbon bits. Please ask for Mike and tell him I sent you, he's an amazing lad to work with, really couldn't have done it without him. It took me about 6+ months of coordination with them to get the parts sorted.

The issue isn't the bumper itself...its everything you need to make it work. You'll need the bottom undertray, the side ducts, the mesh radiator grilles for the side ducts and the front clam vents, and all the fixings for the bumper itself which includes the carbon side ducts, the DRL assemblies with the DRL holders (the DRLs can be transferred from your current bumper), the center grille mesh, the foam for the center duct, and last but not least, the most important part, the carbon center duct which is alone nearly 3k gbp. So the conversion is pretty costly and time consuming, I know someone that purchased everything new and ran well over $10k. So unless you're able to find the parts used or in a package deal, its a little more complex and cost prohibitive than just a bumper swap on any other car.

Here's a list of the parts, I can't recall its comprehensive but the majority is there to complete the swap:

Cool - thanks for the tips. Definitely thinking used.

@Jedifar were your parts used or new?

 

[Jedifar]

Most of mine were used, whatever I could find, the rest I got new (a few ducts, grilles etc). It'll be challenging to find all of them used so def plan on getting new parts

Given there's only - I think - 25 GT430s in the UK, the chances of a spare used set is pretty slim!
