Anyone know where a new one can be purchased?  I've checked a number of on-line sources.  They have just about everything . . . . except new front bumpers for the GT6+ !! Sad

In the US, Spitbits lists them as available (rechromed). In the UK, Canley Classics lists them as "available to order"; either way, you're looking at something over $500 to get it to your door.

Part number is 811660, and it is the same bumper as the Mk3 Spitfire.

This may not be the answer that you are looking for.--If you have an old front bumper or access to one that is not to badly bent you can have it straightened and rechromed here in the US and likely save a lot of shipping charges.  The good side of the rechroming is that most often the newer bumpers are thinner than original and therefore not as strong.  I had a TR4 rear bumper rechromed for about half the price of a new one.  I would guess that a rechroming would be less than $300, but I do not know the current market.
Best of luck.

Hey, thanks a lot for your replies and suggestions.  I think I'll look into having the bumpers re-chromed.  Besides, that way, they'll be 'original' as well.  Thanks again!
PS:  The GT6 is a GREAT car.
