your looking at £200 - £300 to get them resprayed.

the \'colour coded\' ones come with a black strip round them anyway

so if your thinking of keeping these standard bumpers, go for the respray option unless u dont mind this black strip

£150-200 easy depends on the colour, if its metallic, what the paint is on the bumpers at the mo like and any repairs 2. also if its std corsa bumper it have to be smooth down, coz off the dimple effect.
£300 is alot stu, but if the jobs big then it can cost that or more.

Yeah, i\'d definatly get them sprayed, it would look alot better than the newer ones with the black strip. 8)

Im going to spray mine myself! Which would obviously only cost me in paint!

But if you cant do that, i\'d say if you can its definatly worth saving up for them to be sprayed. :thumbs:

if i was you id go down to the localy scrappy and try pick up some post 97 ones, they look a lot better than the standard ones imo. + if you want to add an aftermarket grill, it will make an hour job a 5 minute job and look better.
