Original bumpers vs analogues: what to choose for Nissan Presage

The first question that arises when looking for a bumper is whether to buy original part from Nissan or find a high-quality analogue. Original bumpers guarantee a perfect fit and connection with the body, but their price may unpleasantly surprise you. For example, the front bumper on Presage (article 62601-4M000 or 62601-4M001 depending on the year) in official dealers costs from 25,000 to 40,000 rubles, and the rear one - from 20,000 rubles.

An alternative is bumpers from proven analogue manufacturers:

• 🔹 Febi (Germany) - high quality plastic, but the price is only 15-20% lower than the original.
• 🔹 Dello (Japan) - optimal price-quality ratio, suitable for budget repairs.
• 🔹 Koyorad (Japan) - often used in services, but may require modification of the mounts.
• 🔹 Chinese brands (For example, Wings or ABT) - 2-3 times cheaper, but the risk of defects is up to 30%.

It is important to consider that even high-quality analogues may have differences in:

• 🔸 Plastic thickness - the original is usually 10-15% stronger.
• 🔸 Mounts — the holes for parking sensors or fog lights may not match.
• 🔸 Color — the paint shade may vary, especially among Chinese manufacturers.

⚠️ Attention: When purchasing an analogue, be sure to check the article number with the VIN code of your Presage. For example, bumpers for the restyled version (2005-2009) will not fit the pre-restyled version (1998-2004), even if they visually look the same.

Article numbers and compatibility: how not to make a mistake when purchasing

To avoid errors when ordering, use the bumper compatibility table for Nissan Presage depending on the year of manufacture and configuration:

Model/Year	Front bumper (article)	Rear bumper (article)	Notes
Presage 1998-2004 (pre-restyle)	62601-4M000	62701-4M000	Without parking sensors
Presage 2005-2009 (restyle)	62601-4M001	62701-4M001	With places for PTF and sensors
Presage 2007-2009 (top trim level)	62601-4M010	62701-4M010	With chrome inserts
Presage for the Japanese market (JDM)	62601-JM000	62701-JM000	Fastenings may differ

If you are not sure about the article number, check it using VIN code through services like Nissan Parts Europe or Amayama. Also pay attention to:

• 🔹 Presence of holes for PTF - if they are not there, and you need fog lights, you will have to drill.
• 🔹 Parking sensor mounts — they may not be available in basic configurations.
• 🔹 Plastic color — some bumpers come in “primer” (gray plastic), they need to be painted.

Step-by-step instructions for replacing the front bumper on a Nissan Presage

Replacing the front bumper with Presage - a task of medium complexity that can be completed independently if you have the tools and patience. On average the process takes 2-3 hours. You will need:

• 🔧 Set of sockets and keys (10 mm, 12 mm).
• 🔧 Phillips and flat screwdriver.
• 🔧 Plastic clips (item no. 08915-10610) - they will have to be broken when removed.
• 🔧 Hair dryer or hot air gun (to soften the sealant).

Sequence of actions:

1. Remove the front wheel (you can do without a jack if you use stops).
2. Unscrew the bolts securing the bumper to the fender liner (2 pieces on each side, 10 mm head).
3. Remove the radiator grille - it is secured with 4 clips on top and 2 bolts on the bottom.
4. Disconnect the connectors for the fog lights (if equipped) and parking sensors.
5. Gently pull the bumper towards you, starting from the corners. It is held on by 6 clips in the center and 2 bolts at the bottom.
6. Install the new bumper in reverse order, not forgetting to check the connection to the wings.

Disconnect the battery (to avoid short circuit)

Take photos of the location of the clips and bolts

Prepare new clips (minimum 10 pcs.)

Check the complete set of the new bumper (are all fasteners in place?)

-->

The hardest part is connecting the bumper to the fenders. If the gaps are too large, you will have to adjust the position of the clips or heat the plastic with a hairdryer to make it flexible. Also pay attention to:

• 🔸 Sealant — on original bumpers it is applied to the joints with the body. When installing an analogue, it is better to repeat this.
• 🔸 License plate mount — on some bumpers the holes are shifted.
• 🔸 Parking sensors - if they were, check their functionality after installation.

⚠️ Attention: If you are installing a bumper with chrome inserts (for example, article number 62601-4M010), be careful with cleaners. Abrasive products will damage chrome! Use only soft cloths and special polishes.
