Hey guys, i was just wondering if there is any body shops where you can buy front bumpers from in nsw?
or is the only option importing them?
i currently have a honda crx del sol, any advice would be great :)
thanks!

man your best bet is going to be sourcing the bar from a wrecker yourself. If you go to a body shop and tell them you want them to source and paint, theyre gonna make a cut on the bumper too.

you looking for aftermarket or OEM? if OEM do what zilli said, if aftermarket, try bodyform i think it is. don't try carmate, WORST people to deal with.

Located the front bumper yourself... try ebay etc etc etc
Don't go through the panel shop, charge you extra.. mark up...

so would it be cheaper to buy of the net and have it imported in?

Finding one on the internet might not be the best place.

If you go to the wreckers and manage to find one, that's probably your cheapest option.
If you're looking for one on the internet, you have to take into account shipping if it isn't based in Australia.

And as everyone else has said, no body shops.
