In what sense cmi?

Have you considered the more cost efficient option of knocking back the bumper and spraying it?

Should set you back by no more than $200.

you may wanna try Guan Hin Motor Workshop
Blk 10 Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 2A #02-03 AMK Autopoint
Telephone: 64837111 (ask for LC)

a new bumper, 2x retainers, spray painting plus labour should cost around 480.
if pre-arrange (they order items beforehand and have them ready when u go over) and send car in morning, possible to collect by same day evening.
no harm giving them a call to check out  :cool2:

how nice if they have ready sprayed bumpers... drive into pit, remove damaged bumpers and retainers, replace retainers and fit on new bumper, drive out from pit. alike how the F1 cars change the nose cones and front wings, minimal downtime... if just change n go, maybe <½ hour?  :w00t:

Did you ask the workshop if there is a cheaper alternative of replacing the bracket and putty the crack and spray, instead of replacing the entire bumper.

No way the bracket can be replace. think the bracket is stick to bumper.
Guess changing bumper is a better choice coz of the crack.
If not any bro changing bodykit, buy bumper from them at lower price. Hehe

How about checking those scrap yards at Sungei Kadut for used bumpers?
