Help needed, rear bumper QP-1

1,5 years ago I was rear ended in my QP-1. The car is repaired and now close to perfect condition again. But the rear bumper could not be repaired. Where do i find a replacement? I have looked at all the usual places but so far no luck. Any ideas?

 

There's a QP1 parting out in GB, you will find contact details under "psrts for sale" section at Enrico's. I have bought some details shared with the Mistral from that car, and communication and shipping went really smooth.

I know about that car, I have bought some stuff from it as well. The condition of the bumper is very bad.
Any other ideas?

 

these people make stainless replicas. i did not see QP1 on their list but if they do sebring and mexico why should they not be able to do a QP1.

Thank you, I have not seen this company before. But they use similar pictures as Group Harrington which makes me thing they are just a retailer for Group Harrington. If so it is a dead end since they do not produce one-offs.

 

Hi Fredric,

a guy in Germany just listed a used QP1 rear bumper on ebay.de.

Quite rusty, but straight.

I have bought some parts from him last year; he parted out some Maseratis.

Should I contact him as I have his mobile number?

Thank's for the tip. But I do not find the listing. Could you please post a link? Thank you!

 

Hi Fredric,

I´m a bit old fashioned, so doing this is a problem.

But go to ebay.de and put the following number in the search option:

141177059193

Please keep me updated, if it has worked.

Hi This looks potentially like a solution. Hopefully the link will work for you

 

Thank you all for your help, but this one is in too bad condition. I was hoping to find a better one. My option now is commission some one to manufacture a new one.

 

My guess is that the German one would easily be fixed. Or at least I would bid on it, potentially get it for almost nothing and then use it as a mold to have a new one manufactured.

 

I'm fortunate enough to have a fellow club member here having a similar car to mine. I can borrow his bumper as a pattern if I need to re-manufacture one. I would have hoped to find an original bumper in good condition but it seems impossible :-(

 

Hi I watched a chroming shop take and old wreck of a bumper and work magic. BUT I have never done it…….

 

My understanding is that early bumpers are stainless steel, lster are chromed mild steel. My car (1202) is stainless steel. Regards, Ian

 

That is correct, my car is the first de-dion series with stainless steel bumpers.

 

I can possibly help out here. I am making Merak bumpers at an enthusiast basis.
We have the tools and equipment to make it.
It will be a bit more expensive than the Merak bumpers, since it is a one off production.
Contact me off forum, and we'll see if I can arrange something.
