Front Bumpers for Cars — Page 12

The front bumper defines how a car looks from the front, so it’s replaced not only after damage but also to get the look of a higher trim level. In this DD Tuning section, we’ve collected complete front bumpers for specific models: AMG and Maybach styling for Mercedes-Benz; M-Sport, M3, M5 and X5M for BMW; RS, S and RSQ for Audi; F-Sport for Lexus; SVR, SVO and Autobiography for Range Rover; as well as facelift bumpers that update the car to a newer design. For pickup trucks, there are Dakar off-road bumpers; for commercial vehicles, there are front bumper covers.

Complete bumper or lip spoiler

A lip spoiler (often simply called a “lip”) is an add-on for the lower edge of the factory bumper: the front-end shape stays stock and only the lower part changes. A complete bumper replaces the factory unit: the old one is removed and the new one is mounted in its place. The air intakes, grilles and the entire geometry of the front end change, so the result looks like a different trim level. If your bumper is intact and you just want an accent, see front bumper lip spoilers; if you want a new look for the entire front end, choose a complete bumper.

What bumpers you’ll find in this category

• Sport and top-trim style bumpers — AMG, Maybach, M, RS and others. Most are from GBT and GT Tuning, made of ABS plastic or plastic, supplied unpainted, and mount to factory points.
• Complete bumper assemblies — supplied with grilles, and for some models also with fog lights. The exact contents are listed in the “Package contents” field in the product specifications.
• Facelift and OEM-design bumpers — for Lexus, Toyota Land Cruiser and Prado, Range Rover, Land Rover; there are also a few genuine Mercedes-Benz bumpers marked “Original”.

Painting and installation

Most bumpers are supplied unpainted. Before installation, the part is test-fitted on the vehicle, gaps and mounting points are checked, the surface is prepped, painted to match the body color, and only then installed permanently. Dakar off-road bumpers come in black, and carbon parts have a visible carbon weave — the color/finish for each item is listed in the specifications. Plastic bumpers generally mount to factory points; some fiberglass covers are bonded with automotive glass polyurethane sealant, and the adhesive is not included. It’s best to leave the job to professionals: you can install the bumper at the DD Tuning network of certified service centers — the manager will help you find the nearest one.

How to choose a bumper for your car

Look not only at the model but also at the body type and model years: the product title states which years the bumper is made for. A facelift-style bumper on a pre-facelift car sometimes fits only together with new headlights or a radiator grille — these conditions are specified in the description of the particular item. If your car has a radar or fog lights, check the version: for some models there are options “for radars” or “for fog lights”. V1, V2, V3 indicate different designs of the same bumper — compare the photos. If you’re unsure, send the manager a photo of the front end or the VIN.

What to pair it with

To complete the front-end look, pair the bumper with a matching-style tuning grille, and upgrade the rear with rear bumpers or rear diffusers. Ready-made sets with front and rear bumpers are available in the body kit set (complete bumpers) section, full conversion to a newer model is in facelift kits, and lighter sets without replacing bumpers are in body kit set (lips, diffusers).
