#1: Average price of non sport bumper with fogs? Author: myke, Location: United KingdomPosted: Sat Nov 20, 2010 8:30 am ---- hi guys, looking at after xmas putting in a non sport bumper with fogs, how much should I expect it to set me back?
Reckon it'd be alright to rattle can paint it?

Author: myke, Location: United KingdomPosted: Sat Nov 20, 2010 9:21 am ---- I used rattle cans on my upper grille on my car when I had a falling out with a wall, mines china blue, it was alright but I used a few too many layers of lacquer on my first go so it was the wrong shade but I tried again and it's a near perfect match, hm.
30 quid is a good price, woo

i'm sure i've read over the forum that people spray their bumpers with rattle cans?

i don't think you'd get a good finish with cans on a panel that size, by the time you factor all costs in it won't be much more getting it done professionally.
is your car pre-plexed or multiplexed?
either way you can run fogs off a spotlamp wiring kit into a switch in the cabin.
pre-plexed there is a whole retrofit kit available from pug, sometimes on ebay for ~£20.
multiplexed can be retrofitted too but check this thread for more info www.206info.co.uk/Foru...19044.html

#8: Re: Average price of non sport bumper with fogs? Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Sat Nov 20, 2010 9:40 am ---- Yeah you can do it with rattle cans but its hardly gonna be a good finish compared to a proper job, just my opinion tho i wouldn't do it on my car
#9: Re: Average price of non sport bumper with fogs? Author: skard, Location: UK - NorthPosted: Sat Nov 20, 2010 9:40 am ---- yeh, i think the retrofit fogs are slightly different (to compensate for bad cuts).
normal fogs don't have them.
if you're going through this hassle then get yourself a sports bumper as it looks much nicer.
you won't get much for your current bumper though, so may as well try cutting it yourself first, won't look as bad as a paint can job

no you dont need sport wings
#12: Re: Average price of non sport bumper with fogs? Author: skard, Location: UK - NorthPosted: Sat Nov 20, 2010 9:46 am ---- no, you can keep your wings with a sports bumper. it's the arch liners (wheel bay mud guards) you should technically change but your old ones can be adapted to fit.
if you have plugs then yeh that's all you need and it's a proper job.
#13: Re: Average price of non sport bumper with fogs? Author: myke, Location: United KingdomPosted: Sat Nov 20, 2010 9:47 am ---- oh I thought you needed sport wings!
so i'd just need the arch liners?
