Aftermarket front bumper?

Looking for a new front bumper and I am seeing a lot of them on eBay. Some of them even come pre painted which is a plus.

My current LCI bumper has been hit on the front and needs a repaint. It is also not in the best shape so I thought just buying a new one and getting repainted.

Anyone have any recommendations on where to get a front bumper? I actually don't want a M3 front bumper because of the gap it creates in the front wheel well. But a LCI or M-Tech would be fine. I just would like it to have the washer and PDC cutouts.

Amuse

Have a look at Amuse if you are looking for something different! Im also searching for a new front bumper but there are so many options that I'm not entirely sure on which direction I should go in!

The pre-painted option seems like too much of a gamble, especially from eBay.

What gap is that?

I had the same issue. Someone hit my front end and I found it was cheaper to put in a M3 Rep bumper instead of the factory LCI bumper and I love it. No extra parts needed, and everything lined up quite well. Only problem I have is the wife sometimes drives the car so I'm getting grey hair from every time she comes back and there's a new scratch or chip in the lower part of my bumper...

I don't really notice it on every car with the M3 replica bumper but on some it kind of sticks out to me. But it is in front of the front wheels to behind the front bumper.

Hmm... I never noticed that. But then, like I said, mine lined up damn near perfect. Didn't have to modify the fender liners or anything, so I assumed that it was shaped exactly the same
