Got a fucking bargain from Vauxhall.... phoned them with a part number to see if they had one as ive got some damage on my prodrive bumper and they had one in stock!!!!

Got him to check and he came back and said sorry mate it seems someones painted it and then returned it for some reason..... what colour i ask...... star silver he replies!

Ill have that thanks. Got it VERY VERY cheap as i played on the fact he'd never sell it other wise

I had to order the grills and foglights etc but worth it now its on

Well the retail on the bumper is £290.... it cost less than that for the bumper and all the fittings/foglamps/grills everything... and its painted

Paint match is awful imo but that could be the lighting. But aslong as your happy with it thats all that matters. I suppose you did get it cheap

Wont help that its indoors under "false lighting" wont look half asbad outside, and its plastic to metal your comparing. Looks loads better!

dont know how you can say paint match is awful tbh. Its a perfect match. If it wasnt i would have had it painted.

Im also debating about painting the number plate recess black.... seen a few like it and love it.

the paint match on a silver vauxhall is always different to the car anyway because the bumpers plastic so it just looks like any normal vauxhall silver front end

r8 looks nice ive drove 1 they are really good to drive

April 08 feature car

Looks good mate. Shame the prodrive one was damaged as they look good too - and are quite a bit rarer iirc?

its not bad damage, just small scrape.

Debating whether to repair it and sell it or just sell it as it as.

Paint match looks fine, just looks like the rest of the car needs a good clean
