[hoolio]

why has that front panel look as tho it's "shattered"?

 

[Day]

Plastic mate

 

[hoolio]

ok so now i feel stupid but the reason i asked was i have a scratch/crease on that part of the bodywork, how will the fact that it is plastic affect any repairs?

 

[polarbert]

It won't, other than a different type of primer will need to be used.

How the hell has that happened? Shocked that the bumper is completely undamaged.

 

[polarbert]

I tell you what though. It could be fixed for under £1000. I had similar damage to mine, but that needed a new bumper, splitter, damper set, grill.

Could be a very good bargin for someone.

Why is it for sale though? Why did the person who had that happen to them not have it repaired?

Low flying pigeon :?:

Looks like a flatbed lorry or something reversed into it.

 

[ducks butt]

Anyone fancy a group buy. lol

 

[pacey]

How would it have ended up at a salvage yard though ! :?

Did your shunt damage the inner wing / front chassis member? Looks like that has been damaged on this one... still, I'm surprised to see it in a salvage yard.

Looks like the splitter has been "split" aswell as the drivers side fog light missing too.

surely ther has to be more than "Light Frontal impact to Near Side Right", why would an insurance company class this as too much to repair and put it in a salvage yard???

 

[TrophyK3V]

Not hard to fix at all... someone out there will end up with a deal

 

[Day]

How do we know it went through an insurance company.

We don't really know all the facts.

I'm tempted to phone them on Monday and ask some questions!

 

[Jeremy]

Must be something more to this than meets the eye !

 

[jezza l]

Very interesting... Would be good to find out more about it.

 

[Ash87]

add to watch list :wink:

 

[Cue]

does seems strange that the bumper seems unaffeted yet th splitter is damaged with the wing on bonnet. obviously not front on damadge - presume then that the suspesion could have been hurt. may be a complete front end rebuild.

 

[Cue]

on closer inspection, its had a new bumper put on it - they're hiding something. wouldn't touch it. Although you'd be able to get at the accoust value quite easily without the need to remove the wheel, lol

How do you know it's a new bumper?

If you look carefully you can clearly see the damage to the bumper just under the headlight area to the right where it meets the arch.

You wouldn't expect a new one to be like that... would you?
