Hey guys,

Can anyone confirm whether they have bought/fitted this (or any other) jimny bumper off of Alibaba.com?

I'm thinking about buying one because I can't seem to find any in the UK and the rest are too expensive with shipping.

Would be super grateful if anyone had any recommendations!

Thanks

Me too - I've been wanting a bumper that provides solid protection while also making the jimny front a bit more meatier. I think the front of the Jimny is its weakest point, aesthetically.

Does it conform to whatever regulations for bumpers in the UK?

I can confirm that they are well made. Mine is the same except doesn't have the tube to look like the ARB Deluxe.



Also very durable. Although I wanted the steel as a simple upgrade for possible off-road damage, mine was actually baptized on-road. As the traffic was stopped in the lanes in my direction, a gentleman coming in the opposite direction decided he was going to make a U-turn between me and the car in front of me. There wasn't enough room and nothing I did persuaded him not to try. The result was my bumper took out his right front headlight and provided a long deep crease across his right front fender. When I got out there was no damage to my car. Even the finish only had about 1/8 inch diameter chip.

As a side note, 9 out of 10 of the vendors on alibaba or aliexpress will bend over backward to accommodate your needs.

DO RESEARCH WHAT DARTHBLAKER747 SAID FIRST

I started out with nothing & still have most of it left
