how much roughly would you say it costs to paint a new bumper and fitting at a body shop
i know this all depends where i take it and what work is involved but just want a rough price for painting and fitting a fresh bumper

Yeah as above. Most charge about a ton per panel to spray up, so add fitting and the price of a new bumper if you need one. If you pay cash though, you may be able to shirk the VAT charge!  :lipsrsealed: :evil:

Maybe a bit less for the skirts. If you look around, you shouldnt have to pay more than £400 for all. Well I wouldnt anyway!!
