Hello guys. When i purchased my audi, teh previous owner didnt take care of it at all. The back bumper is all scrached up and has small holes and lighter marks all over the place. Does anyone know any website or place where they can fix back bumpers or sell new ones for a decent price?

 

What color is your car? The cheapest way to get one usually is a part out or junk yard. Depending on the color of your car, thats also often the only way to match the paint perfectly (pearl white, brilliant black, one of the silvers).

The other option obviously is to take the bumper or the whole car to a body shop and have them repair and respray the bumper, but that can get pricey.

 

I have the silver paint with black trimming on the bottom near the exhaust tips. What do you mean by part out?

 

The black valence is a separate piece, we've all got it.

Part outs happen when someone's car is totaled by their insurance company. The insurance company will cut a check for the book value, then often sell the car back to the owner on the cheap. Then the owner sells it for parts. Good way to make some cash on aftermarket parts that would have otherwise gone to the junk yard or auction. There are ads posted for these types of sales in the classifieds

 

A spray job shouldnt be more than 200 for a bumper eh?

 

Thanks a lot for the information. I will put some time into research of local junk yards or some websites that can help me with reasonable prices. You guys have any specific websites or places you would recommend? Preferably in the North Eastern area of USA.

 

Depends on how much prep work you do yourself, and how legit the paint shop is. I think the bigger worry (depending on what color your car is) would be getting a re-spray to match the rest of the car.

you could try shokan.com, they're very well known. Unfortunately they tend to charge a premium for their parts, especially big stuff like bumpers and side skirts.
