It will be plastic that's ready to paint. So won't match the rest of your car as it won't be textured, will be smooth.

For the price you will pay for a GSI bumper from vauxhall you might aswell get a second hand one and a rear bumper and have them sprayed it will look better

They don't come textured from Vauxhall. Why would they come textured when it was never the way they were originally?

They come in grey primer ready to be rubbed down for paint.

Nope never bought one, just going off information I've read/been told. Can clearly see there's no texture in the bumpers though.

New ones are not textured like, say, arches are. They have an ever so slight uneven plastic texture. But its not actually textured on purpose, they are as smooth as they need to be for painting.

But i've seen one... From vaux... About a year ago. Generations one. Maybe they changed as you bought yours a while back.

ive bought one new from vauxhall with the sideskirts and its not smooth, infact no genuine gsi had perfectly smooth bumpers they were textured and the texture was clearly visable which was a paint when it got any wee scraped or marks
