Plain Black unpainted D4 front bumper

Does anyone have a picture of a Plain Black Unpainted Front bumper for a D4 please.

When my winch gets fitted the D4 im thinking of fitting a plain black front bumper and keep the original bumper warm and safe until I come to sell car in a few years time. Duncan

All D4's have painted front bumpers......

Think they come in rough finish when unpainted, to allow for the application of the paint layers. As a new one will be coming for mine shortly I'll see if I can confirm this for you in the coming days

thanks.

yes, they all come unpainted.

i want to see if an unpainted one will look out of place. im replacing the wheel arches and rear bumper with unpainted parts so i'm hoping it will look OK

I too would be interested in seeing if an unpainted D4 bumper matches the texture of unpainted wheel arches?

I'm progressing with my D3 conversion and have now finished the grill mod.
Thinking about the bumpers next...

Dunc - I meant if it didn't look right unpainted but painting wasn't an option for some reason
