OEM bumper weight (for shipping costs)

OK so I've found a second hand OEM bumper for sale, in Melbourne, the other side of Aust to me. I could probably get it for around Aus $200 but I need to ring around and get some quotes for shipping to Perth, because the seller is doing pick up only.

So what I need to know would be the weight of the whole OEM front bumper so I can quote it to some shipping companies - anyone able to help out here?

Not sure what you mean by the "whole bumper," but your picture only shows the bumper cover. The front bumper cover only weights a few pounds. I don't know an exact weight, but i'm pretty sure it's no more than 10 pounds.

I'm hoping it's just the bumper cover because that's all I want.

Cheers!

I shipped one and it did not matter the weight they still charge you for like a hundred pounds or a large package because of the size

It was on ebay.com.au see if it's back again (didnt sell at auction) otherwise there is a guy who is selling some red silicon radiator hoses for the RX-7, contact him he is the dude who was selling it. It's in Melbourne.

I'm going to take mine past a panelbeater and get them to push my dent out and repaint. I wanted a second bumper in case the paint didn't match well but a friend who dabbles in auto painting reckons the chance of that happening isn't great, as my paint is in good condition, not faded.

So you can fix your stock front bumper? I thought it was unfixable because of the material. That's the reason I needed a new bumper becuase I had sags all over the front.

I dont know if you can fix it, I hope you can. All mine has is a dent, surely you can push a dent back out?

If you can't it doesn't matter - you can't really notice my dent because it's behind the number plate and nobody knows its there unless I point it out to them. If I have to keep it untill I get a paint job and then get a new one then so be it. It just sh*ts me that's all.
