Jspec front bumper advice

Alrite guys! Need some advice from you knowledgable lot

As some of you know i've got hold of some jspec head-lights, thanks to stuzzer

You might also know my front bumper has got broken clips that hold it on and therefore needs replacing.

I've found a jspec front bumper complete with jspec fogs to complete my package - they wont guarantee the colour (??!) so a respray would be needed i think.

I got 3 queries, does a jspec front bumper fit to a uk car with no mods?

They're asking £160 for the lot and its nearby me so ill probably collect, does this sound reasonable? I'm on the fence on that myself. i know the uk bumper is over £300 new and primed.

How much would you say a respray would cost on average for a front bumper?

All advice v much appreciated

I'll prob ring em either later today or tomorrow to confirm depending on what you guys think, ill also ask if they've got the car itself or any other parts for it. He said he can't guarantee the colour, i'm not sure what that means but it might be that they don't have the car itself.

Cheers!

cant tell you if it would fit mate but up here it costs about £75 to get a front bumper sprayed, maybe a bit less down your way.

£160 seems rather steep for a 2nd hand bumper, even if it does come with fogs.

Gaz, as others have said.. about £60-75 for a respray seems reasonable. Look at it this way... put those E-spec lights up for sale on here in the US section, they usually go nuts for them. You could easily get $300 for them I think.
