    Default HSV Manta Front Bumper

    I've been searching of ages for a front bumper off an HSV Manta and have just had no luck at all. I love the look, it's really simple and not very showy. Problem is I just can't find anything. Apart from Googling "HSV VS MANTA WRECKING" everyday for the rest of my life, anyone got any bright ideas on how to get a hold of one???

    EDIT: Typo

    Isn't the Manta front bar very similar to the one on your VS S?

    I wanted to find a Manta grille, I like the one-vent style.

    yes the manta bumper is no different to the ss bumper besides the grille. they're available on ebay. all you need to do is remove your current nostril grills and cut out the centre section. when i bought my car it had been done this way

    Yeah, but I don't exactly have the time at the moment. It's been months since I've even been able to come on JustCommo forums let alone make any customizations to the body work. Either way, I was just thinking why do it the hard way when there could be a much easier and tidier way.

    Its not a bumper as such its just the grill. there are bugger all mantas around to begin with so finding the bar off of one is going to be hard. Here is on on ebay pretty pricey for what it is though VR/VS HSV MANTA GRILLE 1993 - 1997 HOLDEN COMMODORE | eBay then im assuming youll need the ss lip as well
