Recommended Posts

So i take the wife shopping at Tesco park a bit away from the store as i always do, shopping done return to the car reverse back and  the front end of the bumper off, to say i`m pi**ed off is an understatement.

Now i need to source a replacement bumper anyone know of a good place?

Calmed down a bit so at the weekend I'm going to try and remove the bumper and see if i can get it back in the correct position may just be a case of doing that before forking out for a new bumper

Oh no! It's completely cracked then?! 

Is there any other damage Paul? 

no crack to the bumper just the parts on the bumper that connect to body work are mostly snapped off :( thinking now of claiming damage on my insurance to get it fixed but may impact on my insurance premium :(

all been checked out m8 with garage its only the bumper thats damaged so will order up a new one from bumpers R us and garage will swap them out for only £25 which is a bargain

New bumper ordered so will be fitted this year rather than next year cost me £350 for the standard A6 bumper could not stretch to £666.40 for the Sline bumper.

Plan is to just get the car fit for the road then maybe next year buy the sline bumper

Why not via inshurance ?

 

Did consider it m8 but my excess is £250 and my 15+ no claims is unprotected so my insurance will go up at renewal and its not cheap as it is
