Yeah the one I've got has been advertised in the classifieds on here (still think its being advertised in the exterior parts section!) and I have been quoted £40 for whatever colour I want. Probably go for Astro or satin black. You should go for it, they look mean and keep the IC cooler!

£40 each to have the front and rear aero bumpers painted ? that sounds a great price,could you pm me with details of where your getting it done and I'll get them to do mine !

Thanks

John I think you missread what I wrote...its £40 for the bonnet scoop to be painted!! HAHA

Its £100 + VAT for the bumper to be painted which is the cheapest I could find, and they are the best bodywork shop in my area!!!

Sprayed Up And Ready To Go!

Right...I finally got round to taking the bumper in to be painted and after a week its here on my sofa! HAHA.

Thanks to Phil @ Mini Pirate for the decals...was a bit worried that they would peel over time and possibly come off in a car wash. But I can tell you after fitting them that these babies arent ever coming off!!

It's typical that when I finally get it done I'm flat out at work and havent got time to fit it!! GRRR
