Where to get painted bumpers?

Hi,

I would like to convert my black plastic bumpers to body color (titanium metallic silver). I do not want to do it myself because I tried it with my old car and was not happy with the results.

Is there a place (dealer or aftermarket) to buy both bumpers, wheel covers and the side skirts?

Also, has anyone had their bumpers professionally painted? Do body shops do a good job of matching?

Thanks.

You can repaint your old black bumpers, it looks also great.
Or just buy a totaly different set, but you may calculate directly around 2500 à 3000 euro, 3500 dollars I think

That looks great, @thlon. Do you have any more pictures of the rear? I'm thinking of doing this also. Did you have the bumpers sanded smooth before priming and paiinting, or just shot with the cast texture?
