vonripsnorter 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2005 (edited) BMW do a retro fit item, you get the bumper cover, mouldings fitting kit & grill all in one kit & they arnt to bad price wise around $800.00 plus gst the advantage of this is its a genuine item (so it fits first time) you know if you damage the cover or mouldings, you can just get a new , exact replacement & it will look right first time!! which ever dealership you go to, make sure you ask them to look up the "retro fit kit" as its heaps cheaper to buy this way its only one part number & its all included. price the seperate items & it will be hundreds $$$ more :thumb: as for the side skirts..................ummm ...yeah....is that the time, I better go!!!

aliluya 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2005 I would suggest your really go and find out how much the genuine bumper is compared to the aftermarket ones. Paul priced it up for me after i got my after market one and it priced up to close to same price. I pay something like 300 for the bumper then anout 180 for the carbon fibre spliter, then i had to pay and get it fitted properly cause it was too big .. that was a few hundred dollars .. that is taking us to around 700 odd dollars without painting ... where as the original bumper doesn't require any mucking around what so ever, just straight bolt on and your away ... i was actaully gutted i didn't get the orginal one ...

EVLBMA 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2005 Thanks all, I found out a genuine m-tech bumper would be $900 ish on exchange. I would prefer the replica so it matches my back bumper. Still if anyone knows where to get cheap, reasonable fibreglass kits then let me know. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers. $900 on exchange???? whos that troughit cant be from BMW cause they never want your old bumper price genuine , is about this price & you get to keep your old one which I guess you could sell, which would make the whole excercise cheaper again??
