Default painting front bumper

I am considering having my front bumper resprayed, It is currently heavily scratched (which shouldnt be problem with a new lick of paint) but is also badly scratched on the black plastic trim that wraps round the lower half of the bumper. Has anyone had that painted body colour? I havent been to a paint shop about this yet but what does everyone think? The other idea is purchase a new bumper and get just the top half painted body colour.

If anyone has done this please post some pics.
Thanks
Ian

I had my 2002 A4 trim painted body color. Looked great. Just needs to be prepped properly.

Default Well, US spec cars come with the entire bumper painted body color.....

So I'd say it would look pretty good! =)

I concur with your point...don't think we have trim that "wraps around the bottom half"?

thanks, I shall take a before and after shot.. I think its only in the last year/two years of production that the Euro spec'd A6 got fully colour coded bumpers.. (correct me if I am wrong)
