i need a rear bumper for a 1998 seicento sporting abarth, in black (with orange)

anyone got one going? or know of any decent brokers in the midlands?

anyone at all?

Is yours totally bent? Trouble with most breakers yards is that to find one in the right colour is one thing but to find one without paint damage is nearly impossible. Usually best getting one and spraying it.

I think there are a few parts websites that you can put your required panel and colour, into a search engine then you put in your phone and email and the website sends your request around breakers yards. They then call or email you if they have the part.

mate we could probably patch it up?

not so much bent as cracked and scuffed - if i were to pay to have a new 1 sprayed i spose i may as well bodge this one with filler or sumit and spray it

how much dya reckon spraying would cost?

i got quoted 125 quid on a rover 25 bumper ages ago depends if you can find someone who knows someone etc i ended up getting it done for 20 notes lol

yeh i rember
u know mike smith? he lives new road...
just bin poking around on a vauxhall forum n apprntly he got quoted £225 ish for rear arches, bumpers and bonnet - laquered n everyfin

if i can get a good quote 4 spraying il patch up sum other bits of bodywork (i.e the doors)

got slight money issues atm tho...

use a heat gun gently and push where its bent and normally it pops it straight again. be carefull with the heat gun because you dont want to burn the bumper you just want to warm it up a bit.

if theres any holes in it then plastic weld dont just use filler etc. you can get plastic welding kits cheap enough on ebay with the rods.
