Well, like a fool today i was at a roundabout and looked right, was clear, thought the guy infront of me had gone and went into back of him. So annoyed with myself but we were both happy to leave it as it was and drive on (he said it was his fault). Anyway, i now need a new front bumper in silver as mine is cracked .

1. Anyone any idea of how much this will set me back (brand new and maybe 2nd hand)
2. How easy is it to take off existing bumper and replace with another?
3. Dont suppose anyone knows of anyone selling one/goodplace to get one?

Cheers

Sorry to hear about your mishap, but these things happen.

Luckily, plenty of front bumpers are for sale on ebay so getting hold of one shouldn't be too hard. Not sure how hard they are to fit, but make sure if you are getting one off ebay that its not been pinched from someone elses car!!

You might be as well checking with ford what a new one would cost and getting it sprayed up in silver?

Yeah cheers mate. I have seen one on ebay at moment which is primed ready for painting and is currently at just over £50 but still 3 days left on it. Will be ringing my local garage tomorrow and ford too to get a price.

Ideally get one of a scrapped silver one but will have to see. Feel so annoyed with myself, ugh!

How bad is the damage? You know its ABS so you can weld it with a soldering iron, fill and local spray the front.

i replace my front bumper and wing and head light after a smash ford parts was £350 ish
hope that helps

btw u did what i did to mine easyley done

i've done that before but luckily there was no damage to my car and i managed to talk my way out of it by sayin she rolled back into me

I will try post a picture up later on but the damage is quite bad, i cant see it been able to repaired. Its only on one side but there are visible cracks .

Does anyone know if they are repairable? I know its hard to say without a picture but alot of the cracks are like spiderweb cracks. Any ideas? Also keep the suggestions coming for how i can replace it/fix it - its just not the same when its broken . Ford just quoted me £200 inc VAT for the bumper and another £200 for the paint and to spray it etc.

as steve1981 stated, it can be welded back together

It all depends how badly the damage is as to whether it can be repaired or not. A couple of years back, I managed to put a slight crack in my rear bumper, and they managed to fix it for £90. You can't tell that there was ever anything wrong with it.

I nearly joined the club of "need a new front bumper" - had a run it with a rabbit on the way home but it turns out that the head of a rabbit is not as resiliant as the front bumper

Poor little bugger didn't see what hit him

Poor old rabbit ! I didnt get chance to upload pics last night, will do it tonight so you guys can give me advice.
