does anyone know how much a new front bumper and bonnet will be from fiat? i had a little run in with the back of a van in a car park yesterday. The van was fine and the owner doesn't want to go though insurance.

Hmmm, there really are a lot of us crashing our GP's in the last week or so, me being one of them .

Have a look on www.shop4parts.co.uk

they will be cheaper than getting direct from fiat.

Same here! wtf is going on lol there has been like 4 now within the 14 days of jan...... very odd.....


Must be a conspiricey agenst gps this year

Stop it and stop it NOW or the Insurance group will rise!

Take more care, slow down and anticipate better ffs!

Squirrel was it your fault? Best bet is take it to a bodyshop and get them to quote, they can repair bumpers, depending on the extent, if you need a price from Fiat give them a call.

i wouldn't get the bumper repaired as it might look fine from the outside but it could be damaged on the inside. I remember when someone bumped inot the back of my mom's car, looked fine on the outside but after removing and inspecting the bumper, a number of the absorbtion fins had cracked therefore if it was hit again there would be no absorbtion. I'd get it professionally looked at mate.

Try gettin bumper and things yourself. Garage ripped my eyes out for new bumper and light. No point in even thinking about whos fault it was.....he went into the back of the van

just to sum the fault thing up i work for lloyds tsb and there's a staff only car park behind it, the van i hit was parked in a non car park space. i've spoken to my manager and he said that the van driver can't claim off my insurance as he shouldn't have parked there in the first place. I'm off tomorrow so I'll get a quote from fiat.

Its typical really last saturday i had my merkur front grills fitted then a week later i do this :bang:

Poor GP!

What a shame, I'd get it professionally checked out (at various places) if they say there is more damage than just the bumper then go through the proper channels if none of them mention it, get a cheap bumper from shop4parts.
