I bought a new aftermarket bumper cover off eBay for $75 shipped. It fit perfectly! All of the holes for mounting the moldings, washer squirters, mounting brackets, etc were perfect. I highly recommend it for $75! Scuff, seal, paint, reassemble-done. I'll post pics tomorrow if anyone wants to see it.

The eBay bumpers look and fit fine, but don't expect them to be as pliable as an OE bumper during even minor bumps, the plastic is too brittle. I got one for my e36 when I had it and it was obviously not the same type of plastic...but it looked good.

Here it is. Don't mind the crappy Chinese Grills that fit like garbage.IMG_20170823_120444429.jpg

The trim pieces are from an eBay seller in Latvia. Cheapest on ebay... The Left side piece is OEM.
All that trouble and you didn't replace your headlight washers?
There's always "that guy" waiting to post. I didn't realize they were bad. I'm simply sharing info on a bumper cover that I bought and painted myself.

I checked out your website. Nice E38. I noticed the doors are different colors.
Hahha ! ^ that is actually rather funny looks like from the front door forward was painted. "All that trouble and they didn't bother to blend it" regardless of captain observations comment. That's very good info I have seen the eBay bumpers too and always wondered ! Great job OP!

Thanks! If anyone would like a step by step on how to paint or repair anything, I'd be glad to help.
Cosmic:
No offense was intended. I couldn't think of why anyone wouldn't replace broken headlight washers while "in there", and thought maybe you had a reason. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
