    Can someone please lend me one of these so I can make a copy? It's from the lower right hand side of the rear bumper. Basically, the scrapyards don't want to sell this piece only because they will make more money selling a whole bumper. The part new from Toyota is over £120, and I'm not paying that for a piece of plastic. I'm quite good at fiberglassing so if someone can lend me there's I'll make a copy and send it back. Happy to pay for postage.

    @TMR-JWAP Thanks for the suggestion but in most cases the shipping from the states is the same price as the actual part, still a lot to pay for a used piece of plastic.

    Well, I only have just the one, and at this moment my car is using it, and I don't keep any spares since I don't really need them. I can't speak for the rest of the PriuChat community, but good luck in your search! :rolleyes: ;)

    It would cost twice the shipping amount to borrow one. Shipping to you and back.

    @Prodigyplace surely not if it's in the UK... Collect plus and Hermes to name a few, will send anything under 2kg (which this is easily less than) for under £5. So it will cost me a tenner in shipping to borrow one, even if the lender charges a small fee, still a hell of a lot cheaper than buying.
