I would get any colour bumper and stick it on for now , then save up and get it sprayed ... at least you will be able to use the car . Maybe even rub the paint off it or key it ready for paint to save money  ;) if it was a silver one im sure you would have no trouble getting one  :y

Thanks for your suggestions. That's exactly what I'm thinking now. When I bought the car didn't realise that it's such a rare one. Do you have any idea approx how much it might cost to respray the bumper?

You must've seen the photos I posted. Do you reckon it can fixed without fitting a new one?

From what i can see i think it would be better having a fresh start as it looks too far gone tbh , if repaired it could eventually split costing you more in time ... there is a post on here where the guy showed us repair pictures stage by stage ...

OK...I'll try to find the post. Looking at ebay at the moment and found a few guys breaking their Omegas (in black, silver etc though). Trying to contact them to haggle.

Hi if you can get over to me I have a front bumper from a cdx which has a couple of bits that will need a rub down, but as you are repainting it will be done anyway. I also have the hard plastic /foam bit that sits on the inside of the bumper. You can have both free of charge..

Just to give you some idea i changed mine over for a mv6 bumper which i had to fill rub down and respray materials, it cost me about £75 and then just my time in doing it. You could have a go yourself its not hard it just takes patients as prep work is key. :y

cheers Paul.
