Please if possible can you help ID this rear bumper on my roadster.
In the original advert it was listed by 'Work' but the only rear bumper I can find by them is the 'Work Anhelo' which looks different. I know it is not Jubiride so wondering if someone maybe able to help ID.

Thanks for looking. The exhaust is a custom job done here in the UK as the original centre exit exhaust was removed in Japan. Did this firm also so centre exit rear bumpers?
Oh, I didn't read that clearly. I'll have to take another look tomorrow.
Thanks mate. If you could that would be appreciated.Quote:

James needs help identifying the bumper, not the exhaust :)

Well Hot Dam I had no idea this even existed.
on the subject of weird jdm parts from companies you didn't know made THAT kinda thing...
I saw a maxim works strut brace recently on fleabay..
Wow. Much appreciated and thank you for checking. I never knew Work did body parts for the MX5! I actually quite like that kit. Appreciate you looking. My car was originally a BRG V-Spec and in Japan had the full Pitcrew kit before being split of a lot of the nice parts. It makes me wonder if it could ever earlier in its history had the full Work kit.Quote:

Fightex to me was always Toda's line of coilovers and Work was always wheels...until I came to roadsters.

(keen people will also notice the Work wheels)
Now HyperRev is telling me Work sells this bodykit called Anhelo and sells another called Fightex. Anhelo to me appears to be either separate company from Toda and Work or a collaboration of companies under one banner. I can't seem to find another Anhelo body kit, aside from reference to a Toyota Cardina though I haven't investigated whether that was another name for the Cardina in another country or something similar. Work Wheels/Work Automotive/Fightex/Toda/Anhelo all have individual stickers on both the green car and the white car. As in, the green car that's labeled "Fightex" has Anhelo stickers and the white car labeled "Anhelo" has Fightex stickers too. Also, they're shown on pages that face each other. Now, before you reply please label your facts, theories and conspiracies as such :lol:

Thanks for the additional info. I will need to check what the bumper on my car says. I would imagine this is how the importer verified the brand as it wasn't listed on the auction papers from Japan.
Garret - I absolutely thought the same too, because I have issues of Road&ster with that same ad and some other pics of owner's cars. The only reason I say mine is such, is because 'Work Anjelo' is present on the backside of my bumper and it is raised and underneath the last layer of fiberglass mat. It's really hard to see, but it's there.Quote:
