Default How much to fix this

how much would it be to either get a new bumper or fix this one {assuming theres no frame damage to the car and that the hood is still straight} and i dont care if its a stock bumper i actually dont like this one so a stock bumper would be preferred, im thinking of buying this car and would need a ballpark estimate of how much id be spending on it.



thanks

edit: i just realised theres a crack in the passenger side skirt. doesnt really bother me. the ad also says theres a new engine in it with 35000 kms on it. give me your feedback on it guys.

Looks like just the bumper is damaged. But sometimes when you take one of these apart you find the whole thing is cobbled together because a previous crash messed up the frame. So a thorough inspection is in order before buying the car.

I think the stock bumper parts are about $500 but if you have to paint them the cost of the job will go up considerably.

Definitely put something more stock-like on. That thing is fugly.

Shouldn't run you more than a few hundred for a good front bumper painted.
