LC rear bumper end cap

So in order to get a road worthy I need both end caps for my rear bumper because of "sharp edges"
What is the best way to fix this situation?
Obviously an original end cap will be hard to find, could I use one from a sigma or something to get it past roadworthy then take it off later?

http://www.autopartsreplacement.com/Ply ... _Ends.html only source I knew. But they no longer have them so the whole fibreglass bumper like this may be the way to go: http://www.nolimitracingproducts.com/product_p/229.htm

Unfortunately, the American version has different bumpers, so I don't think they will match up?

I did have a look at fitting Mitsubishi Colt Bumpers (RB to RC models), the width is correct, and wouldn't take all that much to modify them to install, then you'd have a complete plastic bumpers. Just a thought :think:

yer I noticed that about the arrow bumpers :/
Fortunately Cottees has offered to send me a RH end cap so hopefully i can just turn that upside down to get it past rwc.. which apparently will be fine (mechanic's words)

I'll have complete LC frt and rear bars available some time in the future if anyone wants them.

I'm changing over to LB bars - but need to make sure that it all works first before saying goodbye to the old ones !

Here's a thought: maybe GE Sigma ends would fit, or even the entire bumper assembly. I'm looking around the wreckers over the next few days to see if I can find some and test the theory.

I have seen a Sigma front rear bar on a Lancer here it WA. A close look showed it had been sectioned (a bit cut out of the middle and the two ends then welded together) and the look didn't grab me as the Sigma bumper is more angular (especially the front) than the Lancer but it was better than no bumper. I think the whole US fibreglass bar will bolt on and look better albeit it will be less crash resistant.

Scorpion bumpers would I think look better but are probably as hard to find as Lancer bumpers. On reflection rather than being sectioned perhaps the cut and weld was to get the Sigma bumper to line up parallel to the Lancer rear end.

Stick bumper on, enter can of expanding foam, fill ends, use knife to shape, cover in bog or fiberglass and paint
Just food for thought.....

They had the front ones which were a good buy, however my front bar has a dent in it and it was priced $190 to get fixed :|
Unfortunately thats gold coast prices
