Dim Sum Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Best if you get some pictures up so we can see and give you our opinions, depending on the condition. Is it fibreglass bumper or OEM and etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Put it into a body shop to get it repaired. Next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Looks fixable. I'm assuming it's fiber glass. It will just cost you a fair amount as they will probably spray the whole bumper again. But don't quote me on this as I don't know anything about body work really. I'm just going off my experience with body shops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abtin90 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 That seems fixable you can get a quote from Rob Mitchell at DAW or Simon at Autobody Solutions both do great work. However if it was me I'd replace the bumper with a stock one with a lip as your always going to have problems with aftermarket fibreglass bumpers when it comes to speed bumps.

Dnk Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) Its a fibreglass Bomex by the look of it, i had a Genuine one years ago and it was very poorly made, very thin. Mine cracked at the slightest touch so it went in the bin It needs all of the damage revealing and the cracks sanded back quite a lot then re built up with fibre glass mat soaked in resin, then sand/flat that back and prime it up then paint. Easy enough to do unless a decent bodyshop quotes you happy. Edited April 17, 2014 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_24 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Mate your in Berkshire correct? Have you heard of a bodyshop called Body Tone? Its located on London road in Binfield, Bracknell. I had my Nissan Silvia S15 body kit fitted there and sprayed. They charged £150 or just under to prep, spray and fit the front bumper. Really good prices and they did an excellent job. Here's there website: http://www.bodytone.co.uk/ Speak to Tony and he will be able to give you a decent quote Regards Ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
