Bloody Black Front Lip!

[MHHJ]

As the topic states, I know quite a few of you would understand the frustration in trying to maintain one.

I am wanting to get just the front lip spray painted and properly restored (there are some small surface cracks - nothing major).

Does anyone know a decent panel beater around the SE suburbs who can do it? One place quoted my $750 (but that was including my front bumper as well).

What's the most anyone has spent on getting it sorted?

Try DT Panels in Springvale and ask for Vu, can vouch for their quality of work.

Second vote for DT panels. They will do it for you for $350 (whole bumper)

Why not just get some black vinyl wrap and put some over it, when it starts getting stone chips again you can just pull it off and redo it.

My experience wasn't so good (went once, and went back again to have it fixed). I won't go back because the 2nd repair wasn't very good either.

ditto, I had a kit and spoiler put on and spoiler was on crooked. So had to take it off and do it properly myself. Hows the saying go? if you want it done right do it yourself?

IMHO. Because its black and just a front lip and not a major panel, I would do a DIY job. Buy quality spary paints. Sand back slightly, 2x coats of primer, 3x coats of black. Do it all in a garage, you would be laughing. Most it will cost you will be around $50.00 and a couple of hours across two afternoons. Especially since it's a part that is "sacrificial", getting it done professionally is a waste.

I bought a carbon front from PSI parts, looks the business and seems to be a lot more rigid than the standard lip. cost me around 500 and I fitted it myself.
