yes but the gsi bumper is in very good nick complete with the splitter and fogs.

and the v grille bumper is freshly painted to whatever colour you wish, which will cost you nearly £100 itself by a good bodyshop (i was quoted the other day, £400 to respray my 350z bumper and a front lip!).

Seems like a good price to me for it to be painted in any colour you wish.

Was that including the price of the bumper or cost of getting it sprayed?

the blue v-grill bumper is not a genuine GM part,it has the plastic 1 piece splitter but the genuine GM bumper has a 2 piece rubber splitter.

the non genuine bumper does not fit as well as the genuine one does.
