T-Works BD8 +6mm extra hard foam bumper

Coming from T-Works is the extra hard foam bumper for the Yokomo BD8 and BD7 touring cars. Made of a special foam the bumper is much harder than T-Works’s already existing hard variant while at about 19g it is also about 12g heavier which allows to adjust the car’s weight bias by just changing the bumper. The bumper also extends 6mm further out the front compared to the kit part to eliminate the need to apply additional foam pieces when the bodyshell is mounted further forward on the car.
