Currently have a R32 bumper fitted on my car mate with a Miltek R32 style exhaust. The only reason i needed a new one was there is a crack in it from the old owner. Unfortunatley im pickey and didnt want if fibreglass and filling only to crack again. So got me new one

Without being Cheeky, how bad is your old bumper? Would you sell it?

P.S  Are they plastic or fibreglass, if plastic im well up for it (if the price is right) as my mate will plastic weld it.

Cheers

hi mate, the old bumper is plastic mate. and would be up for selling it. But will have to be patient as i need to get the new one sprayed and fitted so may be a month or so.

Will get a picture of the crack in the back bumper mate and if you send me your email addy then will send you the picture.

well popped down to the bodyshop today and was well chuffed with the quote. £100 to flat, prep and respray the new bumper and fitting. So looks like it'll be on the car beginning of Feb.
