Bumper respray - approximate costs?

[tee.gilding]

I'm considering buying an E86 Z4C in Carbon Black. It could do with a respray of the front and rear bumpers due to some scratches and scrapes on both. What is a good estimate of cost to factor in to my purchase?

 

[Bluecat]

Around £300 per bumper?

 

[Mister T]

I was quoted £350 recently

I'd say those prices are high. £200 should see a top job at a decent bodyshop.

Is that per bumper or collectively?

 

[Ducklakeview]

For one, but I'd be expecting to not pay double for the two, bearing in mind they'll "already have the gun and paint out"

That's not too bad really. Anyone able to recommend a decent spray shop on the south coast, somewhere near to Southampton/Bournemouth ideally!

Silverzedtom had some work done in that sort of area. Not sure how much it set him back tho. Check this out (and maybe pm him so you've got an idea of costs) https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=105015

£300 would be a good price in the South I was paying that 10 years ago but it was a superb job from a popular body shop I would expect to pay around £400 to £500 for a top job but then I am on the outskirts of London.

I suppose it depends on region. In NI, for arguably the best quality job available in the country, it cost £300 to have my front bumper painted. I learned the "buy cheap, buy twice" lesson with bodywork years ago. Not worth cheaping out on.

Definitely not worth cheaping out on! That's why I'm trying to get an idea of what to budget for.

I normally pay £250 for a bumper. I had the Z done last year and the E93 last month. Plymouth.

Would you have the bumper sprayed on the car or take it off, looking at getting my front bumper spayed ?

I’v recently had my front bumper, bonnet, front wings and new rear spoiler resprayed for £500.
Bonnet and bumper both removed, bonnet also took back to metal, apparently had 4 resprays in its time.

That's an impressive price for that much work! Mind telling us who did the work?

Someone close to were I live, he does a cracking job. He’s done a few bits for me in the past, always been satisfied with his work.
Anyone wanting work done in Mansfield area.
