   Hi lads, just a quick question. I rang up a local bodyshop just wondering how much it would cost to spray the black strips of the front and back bumper and they quoted it at £50 for everything. This to me sounded like a fair price but was just wondering what everyone else thought.
   
   Oh and whilst I have this thread open what window tints would look nice on an Icelandic Grey coloured car?
   
   Cheers

   i think thats a very fair price! A full colour code will normally set you back £250 - £300 for £50 for bumpers is about rite.

   Lovely stuff, cheers Daryl. What colour tints would suit the car now? Any suggestions?

   yeah without tints looks so much better mate, i used to have them on mine then ripped them out, im glad i did
   
   for 50 pound for colour coding, seems rather cheap to me mate, make sure he preps them properly, and also ask to see some of his work, 50 pounds seems too good to be true and you know what they say about that dont you

   sounds like a top deal on the bumpers, but you do mainly get what you pay for, so have to be carefull sometimes, wish you luck
   
   and dont get any tints imo, ruin the car, keep all the windows nice and clean and it will look miles better
