Оригинальные и неоригинальные бамперы: что выбрать для Nissan Sunny

The first question that arises before the owner when the bumper is damaged is: what to buy? original part or look for an analogue? Здесь всё зависит от бюджета, целей и года выпуска автомобиля. Original bumpers from Nissan (see the table below for article numbers) guarantee a perfect fit and connection with the body, but their price can be unpleasantly surprising - especially for rare modifications Sunny (For example, B15 with "Sport Pack" option).

Alternative - aftermarket bumpers from trusted manufacturers:

  • 🔹 Febi (Germany) - optimal price/quality ratio, but there may be problems with fastenings on models before 1998.
  • 🔹 DPA (Taiwan) - a budget option, but often requires local modifications (for example, trimming to install PTF).
  • 🔹 Keenso (Китай) — дешёвые, но риск брака высок: до 15% деталей приходят с дефектами литья.
  • 🔹 Reinz (Германия) — премиальный сегмент, почти как OEM, но в 1.5–2 раза дешевле.

Важно: при покупке аналога обязательно уточняйте VIN code your Sunny — даже в рамках одного поколения (например, B14) there could be changes in the bumper mounts. For example, models with AB6 in VIN (for the Japanese market) have different mounting points than European versions with SB4.

Step-by-step instructions for replacing the rear bumper on a Nissan Sunny

Replacing the bumper with Sunny - a task of medium complexity that can be performed in the garage with a minimal set of tools. Main - take your time and follow the sequence so as not to damage the body mounts. Below is the instruction for the model B14 (for B13 And B15 details are indicated separately).

Required tools:

  • 🔧 Socket wrench on 10 mm (4 pcs. for mounting bolts).
  • 🔧 Phillips screwdriver (for fender liner screws).
  • 🔧 Plastic clips (new, because the old ones break when removed).
  • 🔧 WD-40 or similar spray (for rusty bolts).

Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery (to avoid short circuit when working with PTF wires) |

Remove the rear lights (disconnect the connectors, unscrew the 3 bolts on each)|

Remove the fender liners (4 screws and 2 clips on each side)|

Apply WD-40 to all bumper mounting bolts (especially at the bottom where dirt accumulates) -->

Procedure:

  1. Remove tail lights — they are fastened with 3 bolts each (for a screwdriver Phillips #2) and are fixed with plastic latches. Carefully pull the light towards you so as not to break the guides.
  2. Unscrew bumper mounting bolts:

    - 2 turnkey bolts 10 mm in the upper part (under the trunk).

    - 2 bolts at the bottom (may be hidden by dirt - clean them before unscrewing).

    - 4 screws on the sides (under the fender liners).

  3. Disconnect fog light wires (if equipped) and parking sensor (on models B15 with option Parking Sensor).
  4. Remove the bumper by pulling it back and up (it is held on by 4 plastic clips on the sides).

Installing a new bumper occurs in the reverse order. The main nuance is gap adjustment. On Sunny B14 the optimal gap between the bumper and the trunk lid should be 3–5 mm, on B155–7 mm. If the gap is larger, tighten the side screws.

💡

Before final tightening of the bolts, check the symmetry of the bumper by closing the trunk. Often, after replacement, owners forget to check whether the bumper catches on the trunk lid seal when opening.

Ремонт трещин и сколов: когда можно обойтись без замены

Not every defect in the rear bumper requires a complete replacement. If the cracks are not critical (up to 10 cm length) or chipped paint has not exposed the plastic, you can get by repairs. For Nissan Sunny with its plastic bumpers made of polypropylene (PP) or ABS plastic The following methods are suitable:

Repair methods:

  • 🔥 Welding plastic - the most reliable method for cracks. Use a soldering iron with power 60–80 W and solder from the same plastic (sold in the form of rods). For Sunny B13/B14 suitable solder PP (polypropylene), for B15ABS.
  • 🧴 Epoxy resin + fiberglass - Suitable for through cracks. Apply resin in 2-3 layers, laying fiberglass. Once dry, sand and paint.
  • 🎨 Putty for plastic - only for small chips. Use putty with a plasticizer (for example, Novol Plastic), otherwise it will crack in 2–3 months.
  • 🔧 Rivets + sealant - temporary solution for large cracks. Place the rivets on the inside of the bumper and cover the outside with sealant 3M 08693 (black, for plastic).

Important: before repair necessarily clean the bumper from dirt and degrease the surface (for example, Antisilicon). On Sunny B15 A common problem is that after repairs, the paint peels off due to remnants of factory primer. To avoid this, use adhesive primer (For example, Body 960) before painting.

How to determine the type of bumper plastic?

On the inside of the bumper Nissan Sunny Usually there is a marking:

- PP (polypropylene) - on models B13/B14.

- ABS - on B15 (especially in the version Sport).

- PP/EPDM - if the bumper has soft inserts (for example, on restyled B14 after 1996).

If there is no marking, set fire to a small piece of plastic (from the inside!):

- PP burns with a blue flame, smells like paraffin, does not smoke.

- ABS burns with a yellow flame with black smoke, smells like rubber.

⚠️ Attention: Do not use for bumper repairs Sunny regular metal putty (for example, Novol Plus) - it is not elastic and will crack under the same load. Also avoid liquid rubber to mask cracks: in the sun it turns yellow and peels off after 6–12 months.

Rear bumper tuning: from diffuser to LED inserts

If you want to highlight your Nissan Sunny Among hundreds of the same, tuning the rear bumper is one of the most affordable and effective ways. There are a lot of options: from cosmetic to functional improvements. Let's look at the most popular and realizable ideas (without "collective farm").

Top 5 tuning options:

  • 🚀 Diffuser - gives a sporty look and improves aerodynamics (at speeds above 120 km/h). For Sunny B15 suitable diffuser from Nissan Primera P12 (article 62030-4M000) - requires minimal modification.
  • 💡 LED inserts — can be integrated into regular PTF locations or made into separate niches. Popular feeds Cree XPE (white light) or Osram Flex (RGB for effects).
  • 🔧 Exhaust grille — visually “weights” the rear part. Suitable grille from Toyota Corolla E12 (diameter 80 mm).
  • 🎨 Vintage style - for Sunny B13 chrome moldings are relevant (as on Nissan Laurel C33). They can be secured with double-sided tape 3M VHB.
  • 🔊 Subwoofer cutout - if you have an audio system with an external subwoofer, in the bumper B14/B15 you can make a niche for the speaker (for example, 10"). The main thing is to reinforce the cutout area with fiberglass.

When tuning, it is important not to overload the bumper - its weight should not exceed 8–10 kg (otherwise the fastenings will be damaged). For example, if you are installing a fiberglass diffuser, its weight should not be more than 1.5 kg. Also keep in mind that any changes to the bumper design require re-registration with the traffic police, if they go beyond the dimensions of the body or change lighting fixtures.

💡

The most budget-friendly but effective tuning is painting the bumper in a contrasting color (for example, matte black on silver Sunny B15). This will cost 3 000–5 000 ₽ (taking into account materials) and visually “rejuvenate” the car by 5–7 years.

Покраска заднего бампера: технология и типичные ошибки

Painting a bumper is a process that seems simple, but actually requires attention to detail. Especially when it comes to Nissan Sunny with its plastic bumpers that don't hold up well to paint without proper prep. Below is a step-by-step technology and error analysis, which admit 90% of beginners.

Painting stages:

  1. Degreasing - use Antisilicone or App Wash & Wipe. No gasoline or acetone!
  2. Sanding - sandpaper is suitable for plastic P320–P400. On Sunny B13/B14 with a glossy bumper, easy cleaning is enough, on B15 with matte plastic - deeper.
  3. Primer - be sure to use adhesive primer (For example, Body 960). Apply in 2 layers with a gap 10–15 minutes.
  4. Painting - acrylic paint is suitable for plastic (for example, Mobihel). Apply in 3 layers: the first is semi-dry, the subsequent ones are normal.
  5. Varnish - use 2K varnish (For example, Sikkens Autoclear). On the bumpers Sunny 2 layers are enough.

Typical mistakes:

  • 🔴 Painting without primer — the paint peels off after 2–3 months.
  • 🔴 Using nitro paint - it is inelastic and cracks when vibrations occur.
  • 🔴 Sun drying - leads to bubbles and uneven gloss.
  • 🔴 Ignoring temperature - need to be painted when 18–22°C. On Sunny B15 при низкой температуре лак мутнеет.

For bumpers Nissan Sunny with factory matte finish (for example, on B15 in "Dark Grey") use soft matte varnish (For example, Spies Hecker Permahyd Matte Clear). Глянцевый лак на таком пластике будет выглядеть инородно.

Коррозия креплений: как защитить бампер от ржавчины

One of the most common problems in Nissan Sunny - rust on металлических креплениях бампера. This is especially true for models B13/B14, where the fastenings are made of non-galvanized steel. Moisture, salt and dirt do their job: after 2–3 years the bolts “stick” and the fastening points become covered with corrosion.

Как предотвратить ржавчину:

  • 🛠️ Bolt processing — перед установкой бампера наносите на резьбу copper grease or graphite paste. This will prevent sticking.
  • 🛡️ Anti-corrosion treatment — после замены бампера обработайте крепления Movilem or Dinitrol 4010 (in a can).
  • 🔧 Замена болтов на нержавеющие - bolts from A2 stainless steel (marking on the head). For Sunny need bolts M6×20 mm (4 pcs.) and M6×25 mm (2 pcs. for lower mounts).
  • 🧴 Sealing joints — после установки бампера промажьте стыки с кузовом silicone sealant (For example, Abro GS-1000).

If rust has already appeared, proceed as follows:

  1. Снимите бампер и очистите крепления wire brush or sandblasting (if you have access).
  2. Treat rusty areas rust converter (For example, Tsinkar).
  3. Apply primer for metal (For example, Body 980) и покрасьте крепления в цвет кузова.
  4. Установите бампер на новые болты с spring washers (they prevent self-unscrewing).

⚠️ Attention: On models Nissan Sunny B13 (1990-1994) Lower bumper mounts often rust on the inside while remaining normal in appearance. Если при откручивании болт "срывается" — не пытайтесь его вытащить силой! Лучше высверлите его и нарежьте новую резьбу метчиком M6.
