Look decent, wonder if it'll fit as good as it looks. If so then fair play.

Quality looks good in the pics, would be good to see one on a car unpainted to see how the fit was.

If you one want that much but don't want to buy a copy then buy the MS Design front bumper.

because the sun fades paint etc and is exposed to a million contaminants, if i spray something the factory colour of my car its not going to match, thus why wings have to be blended in, some peoples flame red cars are different colours due to fade

Yeah i understand that, It seemed like Ed was saying just because it was a replica that the paint would'nt match.

So how is this any different for a fiberglass copy, or a plastic original?

why do so many have a problem with these
guy has made what looks to be a decent quality bumper and is selling them for a decent price. Quite possibily alot better than alot of fibreglass tat being sold.
So what he has copied a 'irmy' bumper woop de fucken doo
copyright, let him worry about copyright.
If they are good quality the will sell well
good luck with them

My Uncle that is a sprayer always says that the genuine plastic parts are much easier to get a good paint match than copies. Dont know why though?

Plastic over fibreglass is the reasoning behind the paint match / mismatch
For some reason!
But a good painter should be able to get the match anyways.
