wanted a matching pair (front and rear) 131 plastic bumpers.
doesn't matter if they're from sport or super. if they're from sport, a set of plastic arch trims and a front spoiler would be nice.
used or new.

Hi, i think I have a pair of bumpers from a super. I'll have a look in the shed and let you know if I find anything.

please do. thanks in advance.

i know i can get a set of chrome bumpers from yagmur but i'm fed up with polishing chrome. another problem with chrome bumpers is that even a smallest dent is impossible to straighten properly. and they're not cheap either

I?m also fitting a complete plastic set from my old super, i think it suits the series 3 better than the chrome ones with plastic edges. The arch trims from a sport fit and goes with the series 3 super side trims so well, i wonder why Fiat didn?t fit that as standart..

what about you wak? any spare bumpers? what's the condition of your old chrome ones?

We have a few spare bumpers, i think 2 sets of plastic ones, but they are not in a very good conditon a and we are keeping them, bacause we have 2 cars running in a capital city traffic, you know what i mean?
But i?ll have those from my CL free when i change them and also one brand new front "CL type"  I?ll pick this one up and then make a picture of all three for you to see the condition.

When i was in Turkey last week i saw 131s with a fiberglass? bumper front & rear with a little lip spoiler built in also complete sill covers that went up the rear arch about 200mm, so i would contact Yagmur about these because imo they looked great.

i saw a 131 that was crashed up the rear (sorry gay131lover we miss you) & thats how i think they were made of fiberglass so they should be cheap & your car will look cool djape1977.

The original bumpers are plastic.
they are not original part

frankly, i'm open to suggestions and proposals as long as they're practical.
i haven't been able to find any new or used bumpers for 131 in usable condition in my part of the world.
yagmur can provide chrome bumpers at a price of 150e a pair. with shipping it would be something like 200-250e. too expensive for something i don't really like.
a set of plastic bumpers and arch trims for a sport would be my first choice. i'd even buy damaged bumpers since i'm quite capable to repait and repaint 'em and return them to their former glory.
i can also get a pair of new chrome bumpers for zastava 128 which are very simmilar to 131 ones for something like 80e per pair. if i can't get exactly what i want than i'll go for the cheapest version of what i must use.


btw, what do you think about these bumpers? new 80e a pair, same dimensions as 131, just a bit diferent plastic ends and a licence plate light in the rear one

any idea about the price of that set?

Hi miraff if they are not original then someone in turkey is making them because i saw more than a few 131s with those bumpers & sill trim fitted, can you find out?

Hi Sid,
They are original bumpers,not really  plastic.

the sills are also original and all fiberglass.original items.

price for the set? front, rear and sills...

a set of fiber bumpers and sills---125Euro

@jasonh131
they don't look bad, just that they're not easy to live with. btw, i still haven't found a set of those from the pic. they're exactly the same as on my 131 and yagmur has the older version withouth rubber strip in the middle and with shorter plastic ends...

@Yagmur
ok, i'll see what else i can get and then decide. since bodywork is only half way done i still have time to see what i'll decide on bumpers. frankly, i'd perfer a set from a 131 sport
