Hi all.
Just restarting this thread to see if we can go anywhere with it. I have a quote below to ship bumpers and front Euro grille to Kansas City 66208.
2 Euro bumpers and 4 brackets $1154.00
Fedex Shipping about $162.00
Total $1316 w/overnight shipping.
------------------------------------------------
I have done a bit of research on the subject of fitting Euro bumpers to US model 308. Having read the various threads on this subject it appears to be a simple job to reduce the existing US bumper mounts and set the existing bumpers further in.
Having just weighed the bumpers in our warehouse the weight saving by fitting Euro spec bumpers is considerable:
#60186806 US Front....15 KG or 33 lbs
#60185006 US Rear.....16.5KG or 36 lbs
#60209301 Euro Front..5 KG or 11 lbs
#60206802 Euro Rear...6 KG or 13 lbs
By fitting a pair of Euro bumpers a total weight saving of 20.5 KG or 45 lbs can be saved !!
We also keep the Euro bumper mounts, 60118700 and 4 are required.
To equip a car with a pair of Euro bumpers with new brackets then will set you back �715.30, about $1154 against replacing both US bumpers (if you needed to), �1685.35, about $2718.
This mod (if it works like everyone says)will make your 308 look much sleeker and give you a not inconsiderbale weight reduction !
Whadya think ?
Cheers.
