On the hunt for a tte front bumper, not lip or spats- the '06 final release version! Know they're fairly scarce, so just noting interested in case anyone is parting or selling!

You and me both!
Rare items for us in the UK I only know of 4
You would need to look into Europe to try and source and budget £450-£600 then add the cost of shipping and paint

I've heard that's the case, but I've seen some lucky bids on here! Thought I'd at least try. Will have to look to Europe, though my budget will be hard pushed with import I'm sure! Thanks for the advice- hope we can get our hands on a couple eventually! 😂

We can live in hope lol

Best of luck.
Think I saw one once.
Did @SuperArt have one?
He was always mad keen on proper tte bits.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Bernie has one on his, cost him some body parts though...
60% of the time it works everytime...

I get blinded by all the chrome.

That pic is taken at the same bodyshop that Sapphire is having her "standard" bumpers done.  Do hope they make the same excellent job with mine as they did with your bumper @Bernie  ;D

That's good to hear - they are going to have it 3 days so fingers crossed she'll look a lot better cosmetically.

Why thank you, it was my take so Zunsport chrome mesh instead of the standard black and LED DRL's instead of fogs

Tbh bernie I just have an awful memory.

Still have it. You'll probably be first to see it installed.
Only missing one or two last items from the TTE brochure, almost there just need to live long enough I guess. 😅
Almost became the owner of two of these things before I saw (was made to see) some sense. Let it go, Paul (who got it from Keith) sold to Rob who sold to Bernie. Alls well that ends well.

They were selling this for the prefacelift model by the way. Definitely not a 06 exclusive.
Doesn't make it less exclusive mind even if they have been selling it over 5 model years.

These are known owners of this bumper in the UK:
Myself & Bernie.

Dave Knox on fbook had one on his sp240 (photo below) but the car got sold to someone in the Netherlands.
No idea if there are anymore out there in UK.
