Bit the bullet and got new bumper covers (OEM euro up front) and had them sprayed and installed them myself. At the same time finished the paint correction on the rest of the car (had the fenders/doors/rear quarter left). Jerez black does make everything easier to match, and I think it came out great. Also had the rod bearings and motor mounts replaced. Bearings weren't in the worst shape for 70,000 miles, but happy to have it done. You really don't know until you're in there.

Bumper replacement in process

No more reflectors, headlight washers, or holes/scrapes/trash paint


It's what's on inside that counts
You sprayed the Euro bumper youself?
