We have recently been contacted by a company in Italy called Accessori Carrozzeria who are now offering fibreglass replacement front and rear bumpers for the Barchetta. These are supplied unfinished for preparation and painting.
The links to the items available are as follows:
- Front bumper, first series — TF-BFT00421
- Rear bumper, first series — TF-BFT00423
- Front bumper, second series / facelift — TF-BFT00422
- Rear bumper, second series / facelift — TF-BFT00426
If any members are looking to source a bumper then this may be worth investigating as a possible solution.
Please note that the UK Club are unable to recommend or comment on the suitability or quality of these parts as we have not inspected an example, and it will be up to each individual member to decide if it is correct for them. In Germany these fibreglass reproduction parts would not pass the relevant technical inspection checks so it would be advisable to check for any implications for the UK MOT.
Additionally, DSM Car Concept also offers replacement front bumpers on their website https://dsm-car-concept.de/tune-up-exterieur/ Again we do not have any direct experience of these parts so it is important to check their suitability.
It is also worth a reminder that we do have some members in the club that have at different times have various parts available from Barchettas that are being broken for parts and these can be found on our Marketplace page. An original UK bumper would be the ideal replacement, and although these are now very hard to find, it is not totally impossible!
Brian Poole even made his own replacement bumper which you can read about here.
