How bad is it...

I take it you've stacked your car then, for the pics are not displaying on my screen

Glad I'm not the only one - thought the GPRS broadband was playing up again...

which site should i use to post images now?

tinypic.com always works fine for me. (its owned by photobucket but you don't need an account or any of that rubbish extra stuff)

same here - upload and use the IMG code in your posts on here, although I see the 'Upload Attchment' thingy is back, too. Could give that a go, I 'spose...

should work now

well it aint gonna t-cut but any half decent bodyshop will be able to make it as new without replacing the bumper.

you will need new fog ring though.

Best off searching for a bumper same shade as your one, IMO - probably work out cheaper and less hassle in long run...

Breakeryard.com and 24/7spares.co.uk would be good 'uns to start with

At least it's only the plastic bumper, and not any other metal panels, or anything underneath the bumper - though it's the nice soft washer bottle behind that corner

Could be far worse at least

a bodyshop should be able to fix that easily. I think I have a silver fog light ring which still has the clips intact so would only need a quick spray

Doesn't look too bad. Easily fixed.

But, as said above, try get a replacement bumper in the same colour first. Probably be cheaper than the repair/respray costs.

Theres one for sale in dublin on gumtree for €135, looks damaged tho

Thanks for all your posts....

If i were to take this to a bodyshop... what sort of price do you guys reckon ill be looking at?

(im gonna get a few quotes together and would like your opinions on what i should be aiming for)

ok so i went to a bodyshop this morning and got my 1st quote.... £120

He said he would respray the whole bumper etc and fill the crack but he cant be sure that by filling the crack it wouldnt re crack by me going over a speed bump or something...

I did something similar a while back, i was quoted £100 - still havnt had it done yet but didnt think that was too bad a price.

thats not a bad price at all IMO

Just ask him to apoxy resin a patch behind the bumper where the crack is, it'll help stop flex and the crack re-appearing

Unlucky mate, how did you do it? Like said above it doesnt look to bad. Is the bottom of the headlight cracked too? Might cause some condensation if it is.

Updated the Pics ^^^^

nah just ABS plastic.

Taking another look at that, id say you were very lucky imo

Mounts look undamaged (bumper sitting right) no major holes/missing chunks/massive dents

considering you hit a brick wall, you hit it well!

if you want to make it a bit easier for now that white stuffing might just rub off with your hand and a bit of pressure, obviously won't sort it but will make it less unbearable til you do get it sorted.

I tried T-Cutting it but i think they are just a little too deep...

ahh sucks. just dont join the FORD club and put gaffa tape all over it to cover it up

Yh i dont think ill be joining that club lol
