    Hey, just wondering would anyone know rough cost of painting front,rear bumpers and side skirts which are already primer'ed and ready to be painted?

    I'd say 100-200 notes, including paint.

    I got 2 bumpers, spoiler and 2 wing mirrors prepared, primered and painted for 250.

    Same colour as body of course. :)

    If it's for that brown bucket of a BMW the DIY option using a 3" brush and creosote might be the most suitable and budget friendly option ;)

    Bit harsh...

    OP are you looking at M kits on eBay and the likes? Second hand sport bumpers might be a better option if you are, as you will have to factor in brake ducts and fog lamps on spurious kits.

    Yes, I found M kit on eBay, includes:
    Front Bumper (whole set including meshes, grills)
    Rear Bumper (Including diffuser + with PDC cuts or without)
    Side Skirts.
    Pair of fog lights.
    Two brake ducts (mine are wrecked currently).

    + I am getting alloys resprayed and repaired into silver. They are CSL currently black with red lip which looks crap.

    What price are they coming in at? I looked at these kits before, and ultimately I think I'm just going to be a proud SE owner! Haha. At a guess, you'll be up to a grand delivered and painted. That's a lot of money to spend on a car that is worthless to anyone but you. Worth keeping in mind before spending a boat load of cash.

    I'll be getting wheels + tires soon, so I'm in a similar position RE spending money on a car that's not worth much, just worth keeping in the forefront of your mind I reckon.

    The kit is 650 Euro + 15 Pounds delivery.

    So yeah roughly 1000 for the whole thing.
    I don't feel sorry spending any money on car that I am using day to day to be honest. I either spend that money in 4 weeks of nightclub or save up and change car a bit if you know what I mean :D
