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.

It's pretty bad, i will try get some pics up tonight and you can see what you all think. Really hope it can be fixed, i cant afford a brand new one and spraying so will have to stay looking battered and brusied unless can be fixed

Had you been up to Scotland to get them? It's the only place you can still get pound notes!

on a previous car I crack the back bumper and after a while u could the crack again and after just a small touch and it was crack all over again so it always better to buy a new one even so its expensive but on the other side if the job is done properly then it should be ok but it never be as strong as the original part

---

Well i would pay for it to be done at a Ford bodyshop so you would think it's done properly? I cant decide what to do?! do i pay the extra (which i really cant afford) and get a whole new bumper. Or do i just go for the fix up job?

Hmmmm, im thinking if i get it done and it go bad 6 months down the line i could go back and say "whats going on?"....... From speaking to a couple of people away from this forum who work in garages they say a repair would be ok, but they have only seen the pics like you all have......

---

if they are advising in their opinion it can be repaired. draft a note and get them to sign to that affect. You will have 12 months guarantee on the repair, you'd think any defects would come through in that time

is there only damage on the front of the bumper or there is more damage behind it? cos if thats the case then u probably would have to change it
