Renault Megane question..

hi,

I have a 2007 Renault Megane in blue. The front and back bumpers are grey and I was wondering if it would be possible to change them so the car is fully colour coded?

I have attached a photo so you can see what I mean :)

    Thank you :)

    A friend of mine suggested looking at scrap yards on the off chance I will find some but If not is it likely to be expensive?

    It's going to cost you a good few hundred at a body shop.
    eBay's your best bet I reckon. If they made them in blue as standard then they will pop up eventually and you can swap them over.

    You need a good body shop with a plasticiser paint, however the colour coded bumpers are usually smooth plastic and the grey one a stipple plastic.
    If you want my honest opinion, save your cash, owning a Renault it wont be long before you need it.

    Well I know a few people who have always had Renaults and not had any problems.

    I've got a Renault megane estate in that colour,

    I don't think there are any fully colour coded bumpers as standard

    Get them sprayed if you need too, but whyyyyyy??,, and that's from a Renault fan/owner;)

    Ignore the vax man, he was chewed buy a ninja lescargo a few years back, never got over it :(:(:(
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    I just like my car to be colour coded, don't know why!

    I won't be getting it done just yet as I don't have the money..was just curious :)

    I know a lot of people slate Renaults, but then again..nobody will ever agree on the same thing :)
