Except for the weird frame around the liscence plate the UK rear bumper looks the same as the US one. Does anyone know if they will fit with little or no modifications? And if so how the hell can I get some? Any one have a UK source? They flow with the Kouki oem side skirts better than the Kouki JDM ones and I don't want to have to change my bumper out and repaint it just for Kouki rear skirts, plus I don't really like the Zenki JDM oem ones because they don't go with the Kouki oem side skirts that I have installed.

The outer pieces need no modifications but the middle
portion might need a little.I can check my friend in germany.

Search. That's the Z Edition rear lip, only offered through Nissan AG, extremely rare. Last one I saw was in Spain, with shipping he wanted $835 for it.
Plus it doesn't follow the same lines since the UK bumper has a larger plate opening.

sigh.

Search for "z-edition valence" or posts by me or cookie and you should have all the info you need, but since i have nothing to do at work:

That is a rear lip that came on 200 special edition 200sx's (s14 kouki's) in Germany, called the Z-edition.

The rear BUMPER comes on all european 200sx's, the lip only on those specials.

If u want the lip, good luck. U need a german source to get a used one, which is hard enough to find, OR contact a company in the UK which made a fiberglass replica. If you're in Europe, u can do what cookie did, tell nissan germany to make you a brand spankin' new one, but feel your wallet lighten by a significant amount.

The BUMPER will fit without problem, its bolts on fine.

The LIP will mostly fit, but there might be gappage around the middle, like you said there's that license plate frame. An enterprising body shop may be able to fab up something to make it look perfect. Bumper and lip are urethane.

There are, in my hazy recollection, 3 total lips in the United States, two of them in black. OptionImports I think has a picture of a black one in some of their exhaust sections. In Germany, there are 197 left. In the UK, who knows how many replicas, I dont even know if SRBPower is still around or if their mold is still available, and its fiberglas so its not quite worth it IMHO (urethane>fiberglass).

And before someone else says it:
The lip is either butt ugly waste of money to some, or a beautiful rare perfect finishing touch for others. Personal taste, love it or hate it, up to you.

If u want one, win the lotto or make friends with some people across the atlantic. Do not expect to find one, just be happy if you meet someone who can get you one.

NOTE:
Just to get you an idea how much this costs, it'll likely be cheaper for you to buy the JDM rear bumper + JDM kouki valence (rare enough by themselves) + paint than to find and ship a z lip from Germany. Hell, shipping alone might be more expensive.

For more information, follow my first instructions or PM me or cookie.

The SRB replica isn't very close in looks either, more of a Veilside meets Nismo look. And like said it's fiber'ass', so it will fit like ass and break in no time.

Racing edition also got the rear valance.
800 racing editions were made and 200 z-edition.

I've never heard of the racing edition, any info? Was this also Germany, or another European country.

i've never seen the SRBPower one either, I think they used a picture of a real one as their 'stock' photo.

but yes, urethane + oem fitment can't be beat, the only beef i have is there's nothing to bolt the thing on in the middle sections, my shop used double sided tape + screws on either end (fender well)

Yes, its also German.
Green-metallic, BBS 17" wheels, White lether + wood interior (not "racing" at all if you ask me, but wery nice indeed) and rear valance.
My brother has one:

As per the rest of the thread , thats my car , that is a genuine German edition valance and i did bride nissan.de to dig out the mould from the original and make it for me. (Mines the only one in the UK)

Racing edition and z-edition had the valance , i don't think they made 800 racing , i think it was more like 200 racing, 200 z.

Srb still exist and are doing a group buy on the replica valances at the mo.
