84-89 Carrera lightweight bumper replacements?

[jhugh]

I'm hoping someone can recommend make & vendor for lightweight front & rear bumper replacements for my '84 Carrera. I want to start dumping some weight. Seats are also on my mind.

The only model I've been able to find online so far is an IROC-style affair with wide body fender flares and provision for front oil cooler. I don't have the budget to do a big front oil cooler or a wide body conversion. I'm looking for a set that will replace the stock heavies and accommodate the Dansk 2-out exhaust with a minimum of modification.

Cheers

Welcome to Getty Design

Ahhh, thanks. I like the rear bumper designs. The fronts for 74-89, though, are either the Yellowbird design (oil cooler again, and changes the lines to look like a bullfrog) or that glass reskin of one piece of the existing metal bumper, which I assume would not lose the heavy shocks and aluminum spoiler.

Any more stuff out there?

Thanks!

I think Rennspeed has a stock replacement. Other than stock there aren't many other non-oil cooler options.

I got mine from Dave at TRE motorsports. nice fit and finish. narrow body RSR style.

leave the cooler opening close , as the gold car above illustrates.
That way you get more downforce too

Thes any good Jhugh?
Ultra-light and easy to fit. Can accomodate twin out too.
Hope this helps.

Beautiful car. But no it doesn't help without identifying who mfg. the bumpers

I used fiberglass bumpers from Getty Design. They are exact replicas of the stock bumpers. Nice piece of kit.

I have BW Motorsport Yellowbird replicas. No oil cooler in the nose (yet) and just cut a plate to block off the opening to increase downforce. Well made with good fit and finish. But I need more downforce so I may be going to the same TRE front piece as Scotitude. I prefer the Yellowbird look but need the splitters of the TRE piece.

You can see the gray aluminum plate in the cooler opening:

Doh!
Sorry - the manufacturers are Clubautosport and are based here in the West Midlands, UK. However, they make products for several companies and ship too.
Good quality, good fit and with the minimum of prep. Very light too.
Hope it helps.

Here's the front bumper on my car.

Fit and finish is great. Remember you are dealing with FRP so additional final finish is required and you will need to fabricate your own mounting brackets.

Front aperture is glassed over so you can leave it closed or cut it out.
