WPAWS Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 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?
WPAWS Posted November 21, 2017 Author Posted November 21, 2017 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
Steve Q Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 People are unbelievable! Let's hope it'll all go back on ok :)
Brad-B5 Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 Awful, people just don't care at all! I once came back to the plastic trimming on the front around the fog lights off because someone backed into me in the car park.

Expand 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 :(

WPAWS Posted November 21, 2017 Author Posted November 21, 2017 Not cheapest i have seen but once you factor in it will be sprayed black as opposed to only being primed the price seems good http://bumpersrus.co.uk/epages/950018531.mobile/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/950018531/Products/BAD0341011

niedzial1983 Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 You will probably need bumper bracket as well as it looks they been damaged. And check if headlight sprayers hose is intact and fog light wire harness
niedzial1983 Posted November 22, 2017 Posted November 22, 2017 And check your side panel. Bumer is screwed from the side panel( under the wheel arch ) , see pic , if the hole got ripped out then you need new one .

Expand 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
WPAWS Posted November 24, 2017 Author Posted November 24, 2017 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
WPAWS Posted November 24, 2017 Author Posted November 24, 2017 On 11/24/2017 at 6:16 PM, niedzial1983 said: Why not via inshurance ? Expand 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
niedzial1983 Posted November 24, 2017 Posted November 24, 2017 I pay 600£ for mine all inclusive with ncd protection and rac cover
WPAWS Posted December 12, 2017 Author Posted December 12, 2017 finally, new bumper will be here tomorrow meant to arrive last sunday but bad weather stopped delivery something about snow in the midlands or something lol
WPAWS Posted December 20, 2017 Author Posted December 20, 2017 Total disaster :( so car was in the garage today for bumper fitting and sods law it dont fit, i am now contacting the company via email to get it returned and get my money back
