Different front bumper?

I hate the front bumper on my stock 06 MC r50.

Are there any like package deals out there that come with a new bumper, grille, trim, inserts, etc...?

Links anyone??

On average, how much is the paintjob on a front bumper?

no packages available. you pretty much have to buy things seperately.
paint varies greatly depending on where in the US you live so any estimates you hear here are going to be pretty much useless.

I'm in the process of swapping a Cooper S bumper onto my 03 R50 and so far:
grilles(all of them JCW) $200
bumper (used ebay)$200
fender trim and lip (new) $40
DIY paint job (sandpaper, sandable primer, paint, clearcoat, etc) $100

so i did a bumper swap my self for about $540
