Styling How much does it cost to fit a new bumper?

[NeilC]

I really like the front bumper from the Schumacher edition Stilo and was considering getting one fitted. Here's the cost breakdown from my my local Fiat dealer:

Bumper: £130

Spraying: £65+VAT
Paint/Materials: £85+VAT
Fitting (removing old bumper and fitting the new one): £104+VAT
SUB TOTAL: £254+VAT

TOTAL COST: £428.45

Ouch!

The spraying/paint costs didn't shock me but I think I'll be fitting the thing myself!

Unless spraying and paint is double the price over there than it is over here... I think they are trying to rip you off.

Try and get another qoute for the paint and work. Not a panel beater, rather try a smaller place that do small jobs rather than big jobs, as the big guys tend to over-charge on small jobs (if that makes any sense)... or ask Ben how much it cost him to redo his front bumper... or Stu how much the paint was for his bumper.

Over here they would charge you closer to £120 for the spraying, the paint and the fitment, all included.

Yup, silly money! I had a rear bumper sprayed and fitted for £150 "cash in hand". Top job they did too!

Your being ripped off, when i had my rear replaced after my unfortunate incident it cost me £130 for the bumper and about £230 for the fitting and spraying of the new one.............that also included some bending of metal work aswell

I thought you were having a break from taking on any more 'bookings', so to speak? Besides, you're busy enough without me bothering you!
