colour code or replace bumper?

[LFCJosh]

after a new rear bumper, just standard mk2 phase 1. but mines all black plastic and want a colour coded one, but with the black bump strip still black.

whats best?..wait it out on ebay till one my colour comes up (rare colour).

have it sprayed, which a friend can do and only wants money for paint, but says he'll need my car for a few days.

orr get any old one off ebay and have my mate re colour it.

one of the bottom ones mate. do you use the car a lot?

 

[LFCJosh]

i could manage without, just an inconveince.

for gettin paint, once ive got the paint code where do i go for paint?
halfords, ebay, renault site??

 

[matt|H]

I'd go for the last option too.

If you want rattle cans then you can go to Renault who will charge stupid amounts, or go to Halfords. They might have it already mixed but if not just go to the service counter and give them manufacturer and code and £11.99 later you have a can.

Got no idea what colour your car is but I have one of the bumpers you are after for sale. It is pearl black, but could obviously be resprayed. Comes with the arch liners too.

ask your mate he will tell you the best local place to get paint . halfords only sell cellulose based paint. your mate will probs be wanting to use waterbased .
