FS NY: Proton Inspira R3 front bumper

I was able to source a Proton Inspira R3 front bumper from an obscure vendor in Malaysia but they had to cut the bumper into three pieces because otherwise shipping would've come out to over $1000. From what I understand it's the only Proton Inspira bumper in the country. I ended up getting the front bumper and the Proton R3 front lip for $450 with shipping and all. I decided to go another route so I'm putting this up for sale. This will fit 2008+ Lancers. The bumper is in good condition aside from the three straight cuts in the bumper and one straight cut in the middle of the lip. (The tape on the bumper is from shipping.) Even though the pieces require reattaching, the bumper is OEM and will have OEM fitment which would save on a body shop having to make a poorly fitting aftermarket front bumper fit. Putting it up for $400 obo.

That looks like a lot of work and money to fix.

It was a BIG mistake to cut the bumper to skimp on shipping costs. (shakes head)

I was quoted $600 from a body shop to bondo it together and paint it... Still would have come out to cheaper than paying over $1000 for shipping alone...

Many people use bondo on front bumpers. The item is sold.
