I don't know but I do have a spare rear bumper if you want to test fit one.

 

The areas around the lights are different so could be a little work there...

 

Rear end is exactly the same, TF Exhaust wont sit right in the F Bumper, You would need an MGF Backbox or at least oval tail pipes.

 

Ah, my bad.. I misread that and thought you meant the front bumper.

 

Exhaust will be fine!

 

As it happens I do have an F Milltek (DTM) which was my main reason for asking as I feel this would look better with the F bumper.

Thanks for your input, I may well give this a go if I can one in the right colour and at the right price

 

Is that the jdl kit on the rear bumper picture above?

 

Yes it is.

It just sits too high for my liking..

The bottom edge of the bumper doesnt follow the lines of the car..

Hence why I chopped mine and lowered it 40mm

I just fancy some easy options for the moment but I'm pretty sure some chopping may not be too far down the line.......

I have the f rear bumper on my 2002 TF. I think it provides a smoother look to the car and shows of the TT exhaust a little better.

Have you any pics you could share David?

 

I like the F rear bumper and nearly bought one last time i was at MGFnTFbits.
And yup it will fit.

Bitten the bullet and just ordered one, due to arrive Monday so pics on Tuesday

 

Is your Tf pearl black? Will the JDL bumper be up for sale if you like the F one?

 

Anthracite and I don't plan to be selling.

 

Update

Well the F bumper arrived and it's fitted but my jury is still out. I love the rear view and think it goes well with the DTM style pipe ends but side on, looking at the full shot of the car it doesn't look quite right.

I have some muddies that I am going to code, I think this may add two things; help fill the void between the rear wheel (obviously) thus disguising the height difference between the sill and the bottom of the bumper and two, give a little more width and depth from the rear aspect.

Needs a grille too!!

 

I was trying to decide whether to fit a TF boot lid to my F as I like that style of it better, that first photo has made my mind up to do it, love the look

 

Thanks. Is that with or without a spoiler? Without a spoiler I think the TF boot is a better design too. It's ironic though, as I often think the F boot lends itself better to a spoiler given the TF boot is considered by some to have a spoiler by design and doesn't require one. Personally, I feel both the F and TF looks better balanced with a spoiler..... just my preference.

I think your original bumper looks better, but I guess you don't like it hence fitting the F bumper.

I like them all to be honest, just like experimenting/change and sharing the experience/feedback.

I'll add a grille and coded flaps and see how that looks......

Got to admit being able to see the exhaust through the bumper is my main gripe with it. Reminds me of a Lamborgini Countach I was driving behind once and realised why pictures only ever used to show the front and side view.

 

Grille fitted.........

 

Looks superb Steve

 

Now the mesh is in it looks great.

 

Looks great from the back Steve, and kinda suits the LE500 front bumper you have.

But, I have to agree with you concerning side on. I'm not sure if it works overall... Sorry :-(
