Do you think this can be repaired???

[hammy77]

It ain't mine, but I'm looking to buy it. what do you guys think? (the bumper that is)

 

[-J-]

The car yes, The bumper No.

 

[hammy77]

The car yes, The bumper No.

Is that definate???

 

[Luke.]

doubt you could repair that!

just buy it and buy a new bumper

 

[Luker1990]

be easier to buy a new bumper and headlight... and you might be able to repair the wing...?

 

[PH-QUICK]

could prob plastic weld the bumper ,but be alot easier gettin a second hand one an getting it sprayed tbh.rest of the car doesn't look too bad.

 

[Dave..]

All I can say, is be careful with it. Looks horribly like mine when I first bought it.

That was the only damage visible, but underneath, the steering rack was bent, the drive shaft was fooked, radiator punctured etc...

Having done the whole "buy a crash damaged car" thing, I could strongly advise against it. It's just not worth it in the long run.

I wish I was buying the car, I think it was written off...dunno the back story.


Im in talks about a driver side wing and the bumper but if it defo cant be repaired then there aint much point

 

[madmike1]

looks to me as though it could be repaired. Ive seen worse damage get repaired anyway. could prob do with plastic welding or something though would need to be done at a body shop

I was planning on taking it to a panel beaters anyways, i know a guy who has done alot of work on my mates clio


dunno if it is worth it tho, i might be able to get it pretty cheap but dont know how much repairing would actually be

Why on earth would you wanna buy that bumper ?

Time and money cost to repair it, it wouldn't be feasable.

Wing looks to be repairable, but bumper, look else where.

 

[madmike1]

if your mate is good with bodywork then buy the bumper cheap and get him to repair it. wont cost anything then.

+1 . Why oh why would even consider buying that bumper ?? It's sh$gged and not worth the expense and hassle of repairing , thats if it could actually be repaired at all .

Go to a breakers and get one in good condition .

[Dave..]

You may aswell buy a new one from renault if you're prepared to pay for repairing that one.

 

[JCC]

I work in a bodyshop, and that would never be repaired ever in a month of sundays. Don't touch it.
Even if somebody could bodge it together again, there's a chance the slightest pothole and the lump of filler stuck to it will just crack/fall off.

 

[Alex_X93]

Cat D I wouldnt be intrested.
