They say they'll supply and paint the front bumper for £230 + £15p&p. But obviously i have no idea what the quality of either the paint or the bumper will be like. Anyone?

tbh i think you're better off buying it primed and then getting a bodyshop to colour match it

Our local bodyshops won't color match, they just use the paint code and hope for the best.

the front bumper from seat is only around £120 , and say £90 to get it sprayed , dont get a copy bumper , it will never line up as good as a genuine

Maybe your right, if you get a bumper from seat, does it have all the honeycombe and fog light mounts etc?

From seat you will get the bare bones. No grill etc

 

[Beaker™]

The grill is plastic welded in though yeah? So how the hell do i do that?

 

[pj1985]

Dont know but it comes seperate as does the bottom mesh section.

 

[nick-barnes07]

tts bumpers will also be bare as well , they come primed up though ,

 

[Beaker™]

Thought so, will have to have a look inside mine and see whats involved in building one up.

 

[nick-barnes07]

the bottum grill should clip in shouldnt it

 

[Beaker™]

Top one is what i'm usure about. Pretty sure these bits are welded in....

And i'm also sure the fog light mounts are the same.

Phil, i'm sure that your entitled to royalties if a photo that you have taken has been used by someone to aide them making profits (ie advertising) without your permission.

To fit the top grille you need to cut the plastic welds off with a sharp blade. If you leave a couple of mm on you can then use a soldering iron to melt the plastic and secure the new grille in. I have done this on my mates cupra with no problems.
