Aftermarket 430 bumpers on the market already

[Bravo73]

Not necessarily. 

But when our lockdown is lifted, there might be a (local) UK TLFer who is willing to go and inspect the ‘lid on your behalf.

I saw on elise-shop the front and rear bumper and the ducktail similar to gt-430. enlarging the images it seems to me that the pieces are quite similar to the original ones ... they seem to me to be made quite well... has anyone assembled them? how are they qualitatively? Are they OEM or difficult to assemble?

I'm dealing with an evora 400 and I'd like to assemble these pieces ...

As @C8RKH and @Bravo73 said on here : Build quality seems pretty good and there are some little differences with OE in terms of design. Reading the US forum (lotus talks) where some folks bought them and fitted them it seems the fitting is quite easy and is almost plug and play for the bumpers with few easy adjustments to make. Go take a look there, you'll find plenty of feedbacks on S1 and 400.

Do the likes of McLaren, Ferrari and Lamborghini allow open season on people copying their current C/F body panels for sale?

Only customers.

Maybe Ferrari should copy their own 2019 car?

[C8RKH]

I think Ferrari would do better with this racecar for F1. With eyes that big it should at least mean they can see their other car!

So the rear Bumper on the  410and 430 Look the same and (Oem) are Both carbon fibre Right?
If I was to take the paint off the 410 fully painted carbon fibre to reveal the carbon weave would it be a neat weave or as it was oem  Fully painted be a mess?

[Bravo73]

I’m not sure if the 410 has cf bumpers. I think that is only a 430 thing. 

[EuropaSman]

Yes, I thought that too. Looking on the DeRoure website it confirms that the GT410 doesn't have CF bumpers, but the federal GT does, along with the 430 of course.

Thx for your input you are right by the look on the parts site.

Do some of the gt 430 bumpers in carbon come fully painted then? 
I would Want to put the gt430 rear bumper on my n/a, it looks like I would need a  few exTra bits for fitment.

[C8RKH]

The Winace GT430 rear bumper comes complete with the diffuser and grill and to me is a great option at less than half the price all in than the Lotus one.

If you like the look of the Winace one, that's fine.

 

 

[C8RKH]

Federal GT has CF rear but not front as believe its the std 400 front.
