Yeah I know that was a revision. But I'm sure someone posted up there's a difference. I seem to remember when looking from the rear it's at the bottom. Almost just a little triangle extra for strength. But yes, they'll both do the same job. Sent from my cuntyfuckbollock phone by Twatatalk

Damaged though... Looks like the main cross member is out too, and I wouldn't want to be repairing it.

They are the same bar a bit of a trimming difference where the lambda sticks out. I've got a spare one that a kind member on here tucked me up with that's been repaired. 250 quid.

Thx for the replies. No subframe needed, was not even damaged. Bodyshop confirmed. Buyer one from Douglas Valley, but the guys refunded me, incase anyone is after one. Just top wishbone, split cv boot. Have turbo rear clam and light, so hopefully on road very soon.

so are you saying that you are the new owner of vxr 29 and it did not need a new rear subframe ?

 

Because it was clearly destroyed in the photos :blink:

Yes part owner with my friend Tom. Photos showed rear clam destroyed not the subframe, oh and the exhaust. I was told subframe too, hence buying one, but nope. Still going to need a windscreen thought with black surround.
