find out how much it'll cost to repair the existing bumper and how much an aero kit bumper/new standard bumper will cost, i would say get it all evened out and resprayed (if possible) unless your trying to find an excuse for getting the aero kit ;) if you do get the aero kit, get them to put a few more coats of paint on it! paint on it is sooooooo thin! :mad:

Oops.

Just tell Ewan it will be cheaper than repairing your bumper.;);):eek::p

Apart from that the Aero kit would look fab on your car.:D

check out some of your local chips Type Folk tehre usually great and cheaper than a Bodyshop.

Bodyshop would paint the Whole thing Chips type folk would paint it on the car and only the bit Required.
Good Luck

Got it done in Perth - forget the name of the place. They basically cut it out in vinyl and applied to the car. I got the whole car done for £80, but the guy said he would never charge so little again (I think it was the full size saltire that did it!!!;)). Anyway, it wouldn't be too expensive for the sides alone. Go to any local vinyl/signwriting place and they should be able to do something for you. :D:D And yes, as we've not copyrighted the 'flying scotsmin' you could have the same too!:cool:

I would try Chips away for your bumber. They can come to your home or work and have it painted in an hour. Prob cost about £60.
