Who makes this bumper.

I saw a picture of this bumper and was wondering who made it. I think it comes from japan. Is it available in the US?

Thanks in advance.

It is for a fact a bumper made by Bond MINI in japan. It definitely takes a lot of cues from the aero kit while adding it's own little touches. I think they are the only place that sells them that I've seen. Definitely none in the US so far.

Oh well, can't find it in the US.

UKSUV, I know you don't like it but if you come across it again on ebay please let me know.

By the way it nice to compare it to the aero kit with Coopergear's pic and Alpha Motoring's sig.

Looks like the cabrio above lost its roll bar. I kinda like it.

Thanks again everyone.

Glnr13, I meant that your mini looks great.

That might be...but Im sure the ones on ebay are knockoffs. There has to be some in the States cause I thought I saw one in this months Eurotuner. Let me go snag Kalvin's issue...lol. And btw....I didnt say I didnt like it. I would rock it if I didnt already have an aero kit. Also, because with some body work...you could have one sick bumper.....
