    RS2 front bumper painting

    Hi

    I need to get my RS2 bumper resprayed after repairing 5 years worth of "accidentally" getting the lower lip caught over parking kerbs and in the process literally tearing it to pieces when reversing I really need to fabricate an undertray

    I've been quoted £170 inc. which turns out to be £70 labour (£25/hr x 3), £75 for paint plus the VAT for just a top-coat of laser red.

    Does this sound reasonable?

    sounds reasonable to me. it would cost ~$250 USD to respray a bumper here in the USA, so that's about 125 GBP.

      WHEN YOU SAY UNDER TRAY DO YOU MEAN A BELLY PAN? IF SO WHY DONT YOU GET A PIECE OF POLYCARBOATE FOR BOUT £30 AND A COUPLE OF CLIPS FROM B&Q? AND YOU CAN GET POLY CARB IN RED AS WELL OR ARE YOU TALKIN ABOUT THE BOTTOM VALANCE?

                  make sure its poly carb tho cause perspex is ***** and will crack when you try and drill it, and polycarb, if you have acsess to a sheet metal folder u can stiffen it up by putting a couple of folds down each edge
