Can't you just get a std surround for it?  They sell them here for £5 http://www.theplateman.com/home.htm


Here is a pic of one of those holder fitted and a oem one on mine.

The gold one is one of the replica bumpers off ebay,they are known for poor fitting.You have to pay a premium if you want a perfect fit i'm afraid.I think the lad who's car it is bought the bumper already painted,so it needs to go to the body shop to be painted to match his car.

Hi lads new here quick question about the R32 bumpers. Theres loads on Ebay that are made from fibreglass and as its been said they dont fit perfect. Where is the best place to get an OEM part from at a reasonable price?

Genuine R32 bumpers cost mega pounds. You won't see any change from £350.
