AG 200 front bumper damage (Scotland) f**king b*****d deer!!

[todsan]

I've went and smacked a deer and the bumper, offside front 1/4 panel and black bumper section are all damaged. The headlight looks fine from the outside but dread to think what damage the clips and brackets are in.

Got privilage insurance (unsure what they will be like to deal with, never needed to claim before) but just wondered if anyone has had similar damage and a rough estimate of repair costs.

I hear its around £300 for the bumper and say roughly £100 for the 1/4 panel but have no idea about painting costs or anything else.

It would great to hear about decent bodyshops near Stirling that get good reviews!

Thanks in advance,

Iain

Pretty sure it's at least a 12 month wait for a new bumper and around £1k fitted.

Your joking right?? 12 months! Thats a f**king joke Renault... It might be repairable but since its plastic i figured it would be better just replacing it. 12 months tho... jesus

12 months!

sacrebleu

I'd heard it was a 12 month wait on bumpers, that's a ridiculous lead time.

Do you have any pictures chap? You also can't paint and AG 1/4 panel for £100. Fact!

I'd be tempted to buy one off eBay, get it sprayed and fit it myself tbh.

Shouldn't be too deer.

Couple of people on the 197 forum saying that Renault are giving a lead time of something like 12 months for a 200 bumper.

Plus paint, plus the extra blade thingy....

 

[Renault Wolverhampton]

lol the blades only about £125 retail i think i may need to adjust my prices then!

 

[Gally]

Definitely £379.68 retail chaps. If you're charging a grand then you're an uneducated t**t.

 

[Matt W]

Jesus calm down! It was off the top of my head.

So it's £500 for the bumper plus postage and painting, go to be close to £700.

 

[Renault Wolverhampton]

only if you pay retail.
you saying those being on backorder i think iirc the back ones we had mega issues with at one point last year

 

[Gally]

Strange forum rumours.
