Hi All,
The snow and ice has caught a number of us out over the last couple of weeks, and I'm one of them !
Going round a bend very slowly (15mph) my car lost traction and silently slid straight into the curb/fence and upon relatively light impact, damaged the nearside bumper.
It's not major, but has resulted in a couple of small cracks/splits and a tear where it meets the wheel arch, and is generally slightly warped on that side of the bumper.
The bumper was already a bit scuffed, so I'm interested in buying a completely new one, but here are some things I wanted to ask:
1. What and where are the things I should consider to sort this out ?
2. Are there any extra parts I would need to buy apart from just the bumper ? (seals/mounting blocks etc)
3. The cost of spraying a brand new part ? (standard ST170 dark Grey)
4. Fittable myself, or defo a garage job ?
Thanks,
Matt
