Have not actually thought about it. The bumper is nearly the same color as the rest of the car(dark blue vs black). So may put off the painting just yet.



I live in Phoenix, what body shop are you considering?

Finally found one in the yard last weekend. Took a couple of hours on Saturday afternoon to get it on but worth the effort.

The bumper came without any rubber strips, fog lights or any fittings. It was just the bare plastic bumper and the great thing was that it looked as though it was new!

Anyway, things to note

1. Buy the plastic clips, to connect the plastic bumper to the metal bumper plate, first before starting. Learned the hard way as had to go to the car supply shop without a front bumper!
2. All fittings from original bumper fit without any problems. Only thing was different is the license plate holder. You need an M5 one to fit. Or else modify the existing one like I did.

Now have to figure out what to do with the original(has some minor repairs on it though) and when to actually paint the new one!
