Hi Ian,

the bastards want horse whipping, not a good start for xmas !
a mate of mine got his bumper repaired by "the plastic surgeon" yellow pages I think for the contact number. Did an excellent job too........

Hope you get it sorted o.k. regards Steve........

There won't be any in scrapyards yet. Have you priced one from a dealer? I'd be chasing the kids parents for the money...

They do crop up from time to time on ebay, been a few bits and pieces on there recently.

Back luck anyhow, did you catch them at it?

 

[1.8Stilo]

Bad luck matey! hope you get it sorted soon, liked said probaly the best place to pick a cheap(ish) one up is ebay?!

I had a wee look on Ebay for you friend and found this: cheap! Not sure if its what you are looking for but take a look:

I found one in the summer, seemed to have been half on fire at the rear. also had big "DO NOT TOUCH FOR SPARES" written on it

I'd think that be fine for him, if he has a 5 door

That's a 5 door bumper. I suppose it might fit but it may look odd.

Ah. You beat me to it.

 

[Scorg]

Ah. You beat me to it.

only just by the looks of things

 

[ian1delap]

its a 3 door

by the looks of things, i might just use superglue for the winter, as soon as the icey part is over i'll just get a sporty bumper instead

 

[StiloBoy]

What the hell is that bit in the engine bay, looks like a cross member mounting or such and its feckin mess! You sure the car was hit by a bairn and not a car ?

 

[ian1delap]

after lookin at it properly, looks like its more likely another towbar!!

unfortunatly i didnt see the b******s doing it

 

[PureTNT]

Looking at that last picture... Do you have insurance? Some bastards kicked in the rear rocker panel, above the rear wheel, right at the crease on my car. Luckily, I paid for the extra "parking lot damage" clause, which means I´ll get it fixed for free. Did you call the police? And where did you park the car. If there is a surveillance camera in the vicinity you should be able to catch the bastards.

 

[ian1delap]

All been looked at, unfortunatly it was parked in my street, no surveillence and ive asked around and no evidence, so i didnt bother calling the police, they wouldnt be able to do anything

I have insurance but i also have a £700 excess, i can get a whole body kit for that lol

now theres an idea....

 

[1.8Stilo]

Yeah i think your right that looks quite bad, for kick; does seem like a tow bar! or just some **** reversing into the front of you?!

 

[ian1delap]

thats wot im thinking, some **** has reversed and then p*ssed off but they had a tow bar on

never mind, im stil browsing for a decent bumper
