   My saxo has a slightly Wonky bumper, (gap under light) and also a crack/ bump in it, from a previous owner.... It makes the front end look a bit tatty and i want to sort it. Should i get a new bumper or can it be repaired and lifted to eliminate the gap under my drivers side light ?
   
   Im told its Probably cheaper to get a 2nd hand posi blue one or a new one than repair it ? Where should i go to get one. Scrappy, or anyone on here got one in Very good condition ?
   
   Ive also seen brand new ones on ebay £99 primed and ready to be sprayed, If i got a new one and had it sprayed to match my colour would that be an expensive job..? and would a new spray be noticably different when joined with my current paint work.
   
   Thanks..... Can get pics up in a bit aswell So you can see what i mean.

   possi blue is the most common colour for a saxo. pickup a mint/very good condition one anywhere(scrapyards, here, ebay) its going to be a dam sight cheaper too.

   would defo be cheaper to get second hand one, most bodyshops going rate for painting a bumper is £100-150

   aah ok... Im on the lookout for one... I just want to be certain that its going to sit flush and not warped which is apparently a common thing with them.
