Colour Coded Bumpers..how much?
Have you tried looking on eBay for the right colour first?
Should be roughly around £200 per bumper.
But I would recommend getting an already colour coded bumper first then getting that sprayed as the finish is already smooth. Your current bumper is bumpy (elephant skin) most likely and that would need sanding = more time and money spent and even at that the finish won't be as good.
I would deffo look at scrap yards or eBay as a first priority though. It's what I did and only paid £20 per bumper from eBay in the right colour
Did take me ages looking daily for around 3 weeks mind! lol

£200 seems a bit unrealistic?
Ive allready got a set of colour coded bumpers sitting in my shed,
the thing is i cant get my bumpers off as the bolts are rusted to ****,
so i thought id rather just get them sprayed than muck about for ages,thats only the back,the front bumper will be hell to get off!

£200 isn't really unrealistic when you think, there is prep time, booth hire, labour and paint.
Try cutting the bolts with a dremel, seems a bit stupid paying all that when you have the bumpers already?

Well the other tiny thing i forgot to mention was that the bumpers i got are Grigio 647 HW which is a lighter shade of my car, so they are just off colour wise, silly mistake i know!
hey dude, just randomly stumbled across this thread... but are you looking at selling the rear bumper you brought that is off shade? The paint on mine has bubbled and come off on mine ..
I'll have to double check but i'm almost certain mine is grigio.
Dammit i just spotted that your located in Edinburgh!!!

Yes i was planning on selling both the bumpers,i think a courier is about £15 but that sticks the price up for you quite a bit!
hey dude, i've still not checked the colour of my punto.
How much would you want for the rear bumper (£15 postage isn't too bad)? Also is all the paint work 100% okay? And last question, is it the bumper type with the 2 black inserts either side of the bottom?

I picked front & rear sporting bumpers up for my MK2 punto for 50quid.. perfect condition just needed respraying which I paid £120 for
