I have a canadian market rear bumper, imact beam, and brackets for sale (and possibly a canadian market front bumper assembly for trade) I finished my importation and it went well. however RIV sent me a letter saying I had to get a body shop to verify the numbers on my canadian bumpers to show that they were actually installed.

 

I would be interested in the front as well since I just imported a 2001 TT.

Let me know what you are looking for both pieces. Thanks.

 

email me and we can discuss it the car is silver

Government of Canada harmonizes bumper standard

OTTAWA, June 26 /CNW Telbec/ - A new federal regulation took effect on
June 25, 2008, that improves the design of bumpers on Canadian passenger cars
by harmonizing the Canadian car test speed requirements with those already
established in North American and European markets. By updating the Canadian
bumper standard, the Government of Canada is ensuring that:

<<
- new internationally consistent pedestrian safety requirements can be
introduced;
- design and manufacturing costs can be reduced for Canadian
manufacturers; and
- consumers are provided with more choice while maintaining road safety.
>>

"This amendment will offer more choice to Canadians who wish to import
vehicles, while maintaining the safety of Canadian roads," said the Honourable
Lawrence Cannon, Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities. "It
will also improve Canada's international competitiveness by lowering
development and testing costs."
Although the amended bumper standard will facilitate importation, before
buying a vehicle in the U.S., Canadians should check with the Registrar of
Imported Vehicles (RIV) about the rules and process for importing vehicles
(Registrar of Imported Vehicles RIV: How to import a U.S made vehicle into Canada).
Harmonization of the bumper standard is consistent with the spirit of the
Canada-U.S. Security and Prosperity Partnership to reduce regulatory
differences and facilitate international trade while maintaining high levels
of safety.
While the provincial and territorial governments have jurisdiction for
road use and after-market additions to motor vehicles, Transport Canada
develops safety standards and regulations for new vehicles and vehicles
imported for use in Canada.
The amendment was initially published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on
March 22, 2008, after which Canadians had 30 days to review and respond to it.
The final amendment was published on June 25, 2008, in the Canada Gazette,
Part II.

 

Wow I guess the only thing my son did not mention when he posted this for me is that the bumper has a reiger lower kit on it pro.done and it looks good if you like that kind of thing.
