Unpainted GSi front bumper

[8valve-craig]

As far as I'm aware they are not available new, but if they are someone please divulge.

I want one, complete with towing eye, and will pay a fair price.

I had to pay £250 for mine recently! Fetching a lot now

The funny thing is you have to paint the tow eye any way as they do not do it any other way

[8valve-craig]

Oh really that's a bit of a bummer. My OCD wouldn't like that.

I might pop and see my painter tomorrow and see if he can Matt a rover hurricane grey instead.

[dgbnova#1]

Yes the bumpers are abs or something the covers are hard plastic

[Edd]

Never heard or seen the tow eye been a different colour before

The ones I've bought have all been the same colour anyway

[chrisd1986]

Ive only ever seen new unpainted gsi bumpers in like a primer colour on both sides

[L33 LEG]

Pretty sure my new unpainted bumper had a matching towing eye cover, didn't matter anyway as I painted it lol

[dgbnova#1]

Well mine does not match so I can only go off that as there did not appear to be another option

Back in the early 2000's my brother had a few SRi's. They were all white and all absolutely mint. As soon as he used to get one home he would de-trim it, take off the vinyl, then go to Vauxhall and buy an unpainted GSi bumper for around £100.

I never remember any tow eye covers getting painted, but that was of course a long time ago.

All 3 gsi bumpers i've bought have had matching towing eye covers. All in matching primer.

[dgbnova#1]

Yes mine is in primer but it's not plastic like the bumper hence PRIMER ergo painted like I said lol

[Connor]

Upol mid grey 2 is a very close match to original bumper colour iirc

[8valve-craig]

Just got a text off my brother saying one of his tow eye covers came unpainted, the rest were primer.

It's a good offer, but forgive me for not wishing to deal with you Graeme.

Once bitten twice shy, as they say.

My Unpainted gsi bumper came with an unpainted towing eye cover

Not what he's after mate but what you after for that one I'm sure someone will be interested in it

[Dan Stanley]

Ive had a pair of GSI bumpers, unpainted, tucked away for years now. The towing eye cover is made from a hard white plastic that has been painted in a grey to match the bumper. However, this has flaked off in patches showing the white plastic underneath.
As far as I know, they're genuine GM.

[8valve-craig]

Do you want to sell the front one?
