If I knew it would fit I'd definitely buy some as I can't find a second hand front anywhere other then USA.

Why not get one of the new steel reproductions that are now easily available from US sources? A lot cheaper than the Harrington things and I've not seen suggestions of poor fitment with them. They can also be had without the holes for the rubber fittings, if you prefer a cleaner (S30-S style) look.Black Dragon sell them for $350.

That's a great price for real chrome bumpers and no rubbers is a real bonus.

I've looked at bumper fit on lots of zeds and they all seam to fit different. Is it that very few of our cars are as they came from the factory or that the bumpers all differ slightly.

Any more info on bumpers here?

Anyone tried the white head performance ones?



I didn't like the fit of the Harrington ones in the photos here, if anyone that is happy with theirs could post a photo that would be great.


Still need a solution for my front bumper and not sure which way to go. Leaning toward a Top Stage Composites FRP bumper as the fit looks good, can be adjusted slightly and they are light. But its going to cost at least £850 to chrome which makes it well over £1k for just the front bumper by the time you buy the bumper, get it shipped from Australia, test fit it, post it for chroming, get it chromed and then sent back.

Do Harrington Bumpers come with brackets or are these required in addition ?

Harrington bumpers come with brackets - although their positioning is not the best and I had to bend them a little. They do look terrific on the car.

I would however advise buying them without the rubber. Or with rubber but without the holes drilled (in case you change your mind).

I found my Harrington rubbers started cracking after a couple of years (looking worse than the 40 year old items) but to their credit they did send me replacements FoC. Let's see if these are better. But if I did it again, I would go rubber free.
