RS2 front bumper painting

[siV6Qcoupe]

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?

Yeah, my belly pan that disappeared along with the original S2 bumper when I aquaplaned going down a steep downhill lefthander. I was thinking about a couple of sheets of ali but red PC in B&Q sounds even better . I feel a DIY weekend coming on

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
