Morning all,

in need of a front bumper for a facelift a3 2007. I've looked everywhere (2nd hand) ebay, gumtree nationwide. I'm looking for one in dolphin grey can anybody suggest any good places to check or does anybody have on level for sale???? I'm willing to travel 

Hi Aamir, 

Try hm spares in Leicester. They often have a3's in for breaking and have various spares. You can call them on 0116 266 6660 :) 

Hope IV helped :) 

Cheers

Steve

Hello Aamir,

If the damage to the bumper is restricted to what you show in the photo, then that should be easily repairable - perhaps even without removing it from the car. Use a hair dryer or in extreme cases, a hot air gun.  Not sure about any localised bracketry, but even if these are broken, they can often be repaired by the normal plastic welding process.

The wing damage also seems repairable, but you might like to replace it, but in either case, it will need to be repainted. You say you have tried nationally to obtain a replacement bumper- are you restricting yourself to a same colour search? If so, you will indeed find this restrictive, and even if you did find a colour match one, my bet is that it would need painting due to minor storage or transit marks. 

Like the alloy - seen more kerbs than a lady of the night!  No offence intended. 

I guess this "Want" would be better posted under Sales and Wants.

Good luck,

Gareth.
