[s-cars] another bumper question

I'm looking for replacement bumper options for my 95 s6.  I was trying
to park with the right side of the car in a 1 foot snow bank and the
bumper caught something and ripped off, breaking in several spots and
cracking the passenger side clip.  Neither shokan nor Force 5 have
one.  Any other good used sources?  Anyone out there with a damaged
bumper that has a salvable plastic side clip that holds the bumper to
the car?  If I replaced the clip I think I might be able to do a
ghetto glue job until a used one came available.

I read over the recent thread on LLTek bumpers.  It sounds like these
require the upper portion of the bumper to be in good shape and the
plastic clips to still be in tact.  Is this so?

I also looked at EuroPrice, but it seems they have a 3-4 week delivery
schedule, which is a bit long to be without me ride.  Also, do these
come unpainted?  If so, 920 is more than I'd hoped to spend...

Looked at estrictlyforeign.com and they look like they only have
bumpers for the s4, not the s6.  Does this mean my only option for a
bumper is the dealer?  Are some dealers cheaper than others?  Any idea
how much I should pay for said bumper?  How much to paint it and where
(I'm in western Mass)?

Guess I'm looking for a decent cheep way out of my bumper dilema.  Any
suggestions?

Thanks!

Ed
