32 gtr bottom lip

[makaveli]

I need a new 32 gtr bottom lip as the one I currently have is cracked and peeled a lil bit.

How much would I be looking at spending on one?

Thanks

Thanks mate

you will be looking at $490 from nissan. You'll be better off getting it plastic welded and recoated in the original black plastic finish. Would be good as new for half the cost.

Thanks for the helpful advice Joe, if its half the price i'll do it. My money has better things to be spent on.

Firstly, it is impossible to get the original finish back. The only way to repair a front lip is to repair it via the method you spoke of (plastic welding) and then to prime and paint it.

I have been through this before. Painting is your only option. It is impossible to match that 'elephant scrotum' finish that is on the front lips from factory.

I have a MIDORI carbon fibre fron lower lip but it was damaged and repaired. It has to be primed and painted, but at the moment it is bogged and you can still see the carbon. I think they are about $1100 so you can have it for $400 if you want.

Oh yeah, also, Joe you are mistaken. Last time i checked with a genuine nissan dealer, a brand new genuine front lower lip for a BNR32 GTR was about $830, not the $490 that you claim.

PM me if interested.

BNR32, I have had this sort of repair done in Sydney. They can recoat the bar in a plastic finish that is actually heated onto the plastic after it has been plastic welded. The finish is as good as new and will not peel like paint will (and yes they can match the original black/grey colour)and the cost to do it is very reasonable. Nothing is impossible, you just need to know the right people.

The price for the lower lip is accurate as I've just bought one through nissan. The trick is to go to your local smash repairer and get them to order it in for you. They get a discount from nissan and you give them a case of crownies for there efforts. $830 for the lower lip is a bit overboard. I was quoted $560 to buy it over the counter, I think you should check again on that one.

My bar got repaired once and resprayed then damaged it again, this time the damage was a bit more serious then a scratch, so i decided to get different style front bar altogether

maybe something to consider
