Ah blinking UK Roads!!

I’ve been babying my car since buying her. Today, on the way to work I hit a bit of wood on the road, and it caught my front bumper corner. There goes probably another £200 for a Bodyshop repair I wander, is worth having a go myself? Perhaps try and glue it, and use some filler??

So sorry to hear that.

You have to stitch it first, then reinforce it with some layers of fibreglass from behind, sand it, use some filler for plastic and then do a primer coat, two light coats of paint and then clear.
Not an easy job.

Yer not going to get that done for £200 in a body shop.

If that’s a front bumper I’d just get a good used one, they aren’t expensive unless you’ve got an ///M

it’s not an M. I am having a look around. Wouldn’t it be cool though to find a Topaz Blue M Front

Oh boy, I feel your pain! Hope it won’t be too much to bring her back.

And let's not even get on the subject of potholes

I have a Topaz blue front bumper you can have for nothing if you collect it. It's not perfect but better than yours!

Hi Paul, that would be great whereabouts are you?

 

[Pond]

Paul?
Pond (aka Andy).
I am in Spalding, Lincs (it's written in my profile details).
There is a scuff/ small dent in the very front. I will attach some more pictures.

It also has cut-outs for headlight washers.
