Hello all,

Seeing as I have been wanting a premium bumper I have let some people know. After a bit more then a year I got a lead on somebody who had one lying around. He wants 450 euro for it, which (in my opinion) is a fair bit much.

State of the bumper:
- dirty, with user marks
- requires a full respray, due to the wrong color and the wear/tear
- has 1 gash on the corner, looks almost like somebody stabbed it with a knife. This would need to be plastic-welded and perhaps filled in and sanded smooth
- The badge is totally worn and need to be replaced
- the chrome looks a bit worn, but I think I might make it a bit better with some careful polishing
- There is no insulation behind the bumper

Seeing as some members on here have a bit more knowledge on average prices on this, I was wondering if you can give me some insight in what would be a normale price for this. Maybe, if I have some good arguments, he is willing to drop the price?
