i'm looking to get a mazda 6 front bumper from overseas due to cost saving. over hear, i can't get any second hand bumper for mazda 6 and the new ones cost a bomb.

I guess Ebay would be great, but shipping for such a huge object like the bumper is going to be expensive.

Buy from Johor lah, go to the stretch of auto stores at Jalan Keris or near Taman Sentosa and ask around.

Is it the weight tax expensive? The goods tax of 7% applies right?

THe bumper may be light, but volumetric weight calculation will kill you.

i guess you are right.

i had seen many bodykitted JB cars and most of them with cracked bodykits.

go www.autoexe.co.jp for mazda parts

very pricey though

 

monster garage is their local dealer....

Yup, its the size and dimension of the entire bumper that will contribute most in this case.

Original parts would still be pricey be it local or overseas.

i've purchased parts online before but so far, all the stores send only by courier - they don't go by ship.

 

Couriers charges are based on actual weight or volumetric weight, whichever is higher.

 

for something like a bumper, the volumetric weight will be huge. for eg, I used Vpost to send a set of 15" rims from USA a few years ago, it costed then about $250. For their couriers to send direct to sgp will have costed much more.

 

you tried our local scrap yards already?
