   How much would you expect to pay to have a new standard front bumper sprayed posi blue? Looking to buy a new bumper off ebay for around £90 already primed, is that a reasonable price or can i get one cheaper anywhere else?
   Thanks in advance!

   I would buy one second hand personally, sand it down and do alot of preperation myself. As willsey has done really. Then it would just be a case of getting it sprayed which should cost around £50 i would say.. well.. thats what i got quoted but was off a mate and that was everything done.

   just get a second hand one from ebay or one from a scrap yard thats had a rear end smash. if its blue then thats a bonus. for spraying a bumper your looking at £60-£70
