Write down the colour code frm the vin plate and then go in halfords theyll match it for u. U need some plastic primer for the bumpers and probs 3 cans off primer and 6 cans of spray paint. and then a couple of cans off laquer.

This will sound really dumb :o but - as the car is metalic laser blue, how do i get the bumper to look the same,wont it be a different shade as on plastic not metal? :o apologies for the dumbness

The process ANDYRACER described will give your bumper the metallic paint look that is on the rest of the car, its effectively just Colour-Coding mate. Should look good!

If ur going to do it urself do it in a garage with a heater on so it keeps the temp warm. Its just a case of taking ur time theyll neva look exactly the same coz u did it urself bt it doesnt matter coz as soon as some dirt gets on them ull neva know
