am in lincolnshire m8, on east coast, must be bumper season, as i've just finished primer/bar-coating a vectra front bumper, i've modded n painting for sum1....but if you wanna get a bumper to me no probs, best idea would be to win 1 on flee-bay and get it delivered to me and fetch when done... :wink:

was thinkin of just gettin mine to you somehow. just want my splitter smoothed into the bumper, the slats taken out of the vent, sprayed and all of it meshing. (just...tut :rolleyes:)

how long would ya need it for?lincolnshire aint too far from norwich is it? a couple of hours maybe?

how much should i  be lookin at to get this little lot done? if i know at least then i can find out if anywhere is goin to rip me off!

tbh, a bodyshop aint gonna be cheap in any case, but to do the work your after would take no more than a few days to a week, and off the top of my head i'd only charge you probably about hundred squidlys, plus paint (£40'ish)..... :shocked:.
