Parts Wanted
 
After my early xmas eve prezzy from a young lady in a car park, I decided I don't want it and she can kindly shuv it up her ass. Fortunately as I returned back to my car she was sat waiting with her details for me. This is the first time I've had bad and good luck on the same day.. Honesty is the best policy.

So I would like a new bumper and wheel arch trim in PBT and the piece on the rear door. What you got folks?
Looks like her insurance company are going to write it off for this..

They probably will try and write it off for what is very minor damage, all the required parts are available new, at a cost of £433, when you add painting and fitting it bumps the cost up to a point where the ins co will want to write it off.

Fair play to the lass that scraped you for waiting, sadly too many people would have done a runner in those circumstances.

Probably not much help but iv got a MK2 hatch rear bumper here in Firefrost Red, needs a respray anyway as its tatty.. Just a thought?

I take it that the existing g bumper can't be repaired at all? Would be a good bit cheaper if it was.

Hard to tell from the pictures but looks just like paint damage, perhaps a touch of filler and a coat of paint and your all good.

That Damage doesn't look overly bad... what would a damn good clean and T-Cut bring it out like? if its not too bad then a chips away style place might be able to make it perfect after that.... Might be worth investigating at least?

Hard to be sure from the pics, but that looks an easy repair, even if the bumper is cracked it would still be repairable.

Repair over replacement I would say, looks mainly cosmetic?

Kudos to the person for waiting and owning up to the damage.

it looks like it would all rub off with a bit of G3 and leave hardly any noticeable marks at all.

Well today I heard back from the engineer for a second opinion and they have also said its not cost effective to have it repaired. So looks like its getting written off. £1564.00 and I keep her.. Any one with a good body shop in Teesside for recommendation would be great.
