Shilakadaddy Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I've just bought a standard front bumper lip (the rubber strip around the bottom of the front bumper), however I didn't realise it had been painted silver - I have a black car therefore it might look a bit odd... So... does anyone have a standard front lip - unpainted, i.e. black, that they would like to swap for a silver one? Its in good condition, no cracks or major scratches etc. Or I'll sell it for £50 + P&P and try find another one! Cheers, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shilakadaddy Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 £50 for that little bit of rubber that runs along the bottom of a bumper? why dont you just spray it? £337 from Toyota, and most people ask £75 for them 2nd hand If anyone has one cheaper - sell me it! I probably will end up spraying it if I can't swap or sell this one, but would prefer the black plastic look tbh. Will post pics up tomorrow!

Smudger Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hellfrauds - they do a small spray tin of what they brand as 'bumper trim paint' really easy to use and gives a perfect matt plastic appearance - used the same stuff on my active spoiler and it looks better than new - worth a try imo .
