    painted Euro bumpers

    What do you guys think about painted Euro bumpers? I know some of you guys have them painted... Do you like the look, or would leave the bumpers chrome?

    I have a set of Euro bumpers that i am going to put onto my girlfriend's car, but the front bumper is a little bent. i tried straightening it out the best I can, but it will never be perfect. I am thinking about stripping off the chrome, and using a little bondo to smooth it out, and paint it.
    (for reference, her car is a white '87 325is)

    If anybody has some good pics of an e30 with body color Euro bumpers, post them up.

      I'll be doing the same with my white 87 is. I'll post them up eventually, I hope to have them painted and mounted before the start of 06.

              Painted Euro bumpers are HOT!!! The color of the car always depends on what I would choose personally, but it sounds like painting is your most cost effective option. Trust me, it will look good.

                  They're not euro, but they're painted and they look good.

                              I will probably be painting and installing the bumpers within the week.

                              Please post any pics of painted Euro bumpers.
