New bumper fitted

MisterTee · 5th July 2008, 21:27

After ignoring the lying BBC weather forecast I took the plunge and fitted the new bumper that Gordans of Bolton supplied, it was quite easy, I took the bumper off and put all the bits from the old bumper into the new bumper.

It took me an age to put it all back together though, wasn't difficult, just fiddly. I was so tired afterwards I had an hour kip!

Car looks great again now though. I am pleased with the results.

Yes mate,

That is awesome! I really really like that bumper, thinking of getting one. First time Ive seen that colour btw.

Nice one!

They are quite cheap Rich and come painted, just over £100.

Royal blue front bumper

It's daft isn't it.
£100 for a painted bumper and over £50 for a can of that stupid tyre gunk.

Very strange indeed.

The production manager at work recently had one of those smart repairs done on the rear bumper on his CTS, It cost over £200 and wasn't really that good. He was not impressed when I told him he could have had the whole thing replace at the dealers for that price.

Jack The Lad. · 1st September 2008, 19:21

So as you seem to have prices to hand DR, whats the cost of a rear one for a type S. Roughly the same price.?? I have a small ding on mine.

£189 delivered JTL.

Rear Bumper + Tailgate

Thanks DR. Still not bad is it, when they want more than that for the side protection strips.

No, they are good prices. It makes having them repaired seem pointless. They are really easy to fit too.

MisterTee · 1st September 2008, 19:56

That's what I thought, it was £200 for a repray so I went for the replace instead at £100. Its a 2 man job to get it on and off though, I did it myself and I struggled a few times.

Yes, its a Type S bumper.

if its that cheap to replace a bumper,would it be cheaper to replace wheel arch/side skirts/bumper trim,than having it colour coded?

No, I think you'll find that these items are considerably more than the bumpers.
