    Default SS Kit

    Hey guys,
    I got my hands on the front part of a VS SS bumper. I am thinking bout putting it on my car but its the wrong colour. Any ideas on how much it will cost me to get it resprayed white to match? just looking for rough estimates so i got somewhat of an idea on what i will be up for. Cheers.

    Just the lip or the whole bumper?

    To respray it, anywhere between $100 - $200 I would say, judging on what they charge over here.

    i am just looking to get the lip resprayed, my car is a bit banged up atm due to a ford driving not giving way so the rest of the bumper (along with just about the entire left side of my car) is getting resprayed under insurance.

    And shaneomac000 i got kinda lucky with this one, i was on my way to my gf's place last night and found it on the side of the road

    lol yeah well it kinda made my day :P yeah being hit by the ford has been a nightmare, been a month and i am still waiting on a quote from one repairer went to another one and it took him 2 days to do one up for me so hopefully i will have the rest of the car fixed up soon.

    Just been thinking bout this, its obviously going to be cheaper to get the lip painted a different colour if there is no paint on it to start with, right? in this case i would be better of striping all the paint off myself first, any suggestions as to how i can get the green paint off of the lip or should i just crack out the sand paper?

    cost me $180 to get my rear ss lip painted, and i also had my front bumper re-sprayed which cost my $200. i thought that was a bit weird cause they would of used more paint on my front bumper than the rear lip, oh well lol

    Cant you just put it on the car and have it sprayed along with the rest of the bumper? Just say it was on there when the accident happened.

    lol yeah i could always try that, it never crossed my mind but i cant really see the lady's insurance company buying it :P
    I plan on having a chat to the guy I am going to get the repairs done through as he mentioned that he might be able to do some cheap painting on bits and pieces if they have some left over paint. But in anycase i kinda don't wanna put it on till i have the rest of the kit figure it just wouldn't look right.
