Front bumper for my car. (sorry if wrong board)

[Count Knobula]

Since this isn't really technical, I guess I'm having trouble deciding where to post this.

Anyway. I'm a newbie to bodywork, but my 89 turbo has a messed up front bumper. The previous owner CUT OUT the grill near the bottom and it's kinda sagged at the bottom.

An OEM replacement is $305 and I very much want to restore this car visually.

However I am gonna try some junkyards. When asking if they have any what year models should I ask for? Any old MK3 or just my year? What kinda price should I expect?

Thanks in advance.

89+ years. pre 89's have a different front

if it's an 89 then you should be asking for specific for your year unless you want a pre 89 front bumper. they are different. here's a pic of what they look like.

Pre89:

post 89 ( this is a Greddy replica bumper so it's not stock)

That's odd. Mine looks like the higher one, but HAD a grill there...........

What kinda price should I be looking for?

So I should say 89-92 for year?

What year is your car? That's obviously the year you should get, but you can get them from a range of 86-88 models or the 89-92 models.

Yes. But that is a TERRIBLE example of an 89+, it looks virtually nothing like that in stock form besides the center raised section.

You can find good front bumpers on here, ebay and craiglist for usually about 100 dollars for one in good condition.
