Hi there,
Just looking for opinions. I'm after a front bumper with spotlights for my LX to replace the non spotlight bumper with a gaping hole in it from the previous owner. The problem is it's quite difficult to find it in the dark metallic green. My question is this, will a black bumper look stupid?
Thanks

Why don't you just get the black one sprayed?

£60 for the bumper and £110 extra + VAT for it sprayed,
I don't have that sort of money.

Is it been sprayed in gold?
You are getting mega ripped off there.

If you don't need it instantly check here, look on ebay and ask round scrappers you will get one eventually and save money.

That's Pugbitz for you... They quoted £60 for a heater console and I got one for £15 from a scrap yard

The whole bumper? Bargain  The paint alone would cost most of that.

At about £26/ litre for 2k and it will only take about an 8th of that? Any top end place would charge around £100 but the cheaper places will do it for anywhere £30 upwards and leave it as a gun finish - no wet sanding.
