Front Bumper Cover - r53

Category: Exterior
Price: $0
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part fits (you may select multiples): R50, R52, R53
Location (Region): Midwestern
Item Condition: Used

Hey Folks,

Hoping someone out there (not too out there) has a front bumper cover for an r53 available. Not a giant fan of the aero kit, so something like:



Any color, dark grey preferred. Grilles or trim not required...

Shipping might be an issue here, but would need to go to Lansing, Mi 48906. Can pick up if reasonable drive...

Cheers!

Ah, sorry, was a bit misleading there. Negative, I have a non-aero bumper but it looks like this:


Why upside down? Stoopid computer...

Going to cost more than I was hoping to repair, will likely be cheaper to replace. Based on ads here, most people seem to want the aero bumper, so I thought it worth specifying I prefer the non-aero one.

Anyway, good luck!

You would be surprised at what bumper repair costs. I had a similar experience, but body shops do wonders on plastic bumpers. I had to look for close to a year for a bumper that was under 300 dollars that wasn't completely torn up. body shop I took it to charged me $150 to fix it as well as paint it. i would say go for that.

Thanks for the responses. Between buffing and filling the scuff and fixing a broken tab or two, the bill will be upwards of $200 to repair + paint. Figured I could get a used one for less, but rather than waste time looking gave the body shop the go ahead on the repair.

Looks like I just missed ya by a few days Kevin, would've scooped that guy up...GLWS!
