    Default New front bumper

    Ok so I am chasing peoples thoughts, as some of you will know I had a little accident during the week, lets say my front bumper came off second best
    So I am asking peoples opinions as it seems a genuine Mazda bumper is pretty pricey, considering I can't find a reco or one from a wreck anywhere. So do I buy a genuine one, or an aftermarket one which could save me some money?
    My only problem is that with some aftermarket bumpers they A. Don't fit without a lot of modification and then may not even sit right and B. They look funny without the rest of the kit.
    Sonic anyone has any thoughts let me know.

    I have no budget really Rino, I mean I dont want to spend a million dollars. I was speaking to another Mazda and they were speaking like they didnt offer the painting side of it which I wanted. But if I could get one from grand prix and have it painted and all that would save me dramas.

    My main drama was going to be fitment if it wasn't the genuine article.
    Again thanks Rino for the help.

    hmmm $815.00 is better then I thought it would be, and an after market one will actaully cost me at the best about the same, and nto being painted by mazda not sure if it will exactly match.
    I will let you know by 2moro Rino

    Autoexe has a front bumper but it would be more than the stocker if your getting the prices above. and ive heard and seen autoexe body parts fit without any problems, guess why they are a bit more $$$$

    if it helps Mt Gravatt Mazda's service department have a in-house spray painter, i'm not too sure if that is standard with all dealerships... I was recommnded them by a friend not too long ago.

    They were the first mazda I rang, and the gentleman I spoke to gave me the impression that I could yes get a bumper but could not get it painted through them, I may have got the wrong impression. The price from them was not as good as the one Rino got me
