Crashed! Need advice on repairs.

[LegoHead]

Looks like i need new bumper and painted.
Been quoted around £500 for the lot repaired. Or 350+vat if I supply bumper and sideskirt.

Any ideas?

Plus my radiator has been knocked off the mounts, should i try moving it back myself as I dont want to break it, it seems ok at the moment.

How'd you manage to hit the big bank of mud mate?

Oops...

happened yesterday at the sw meet, lost the back end then hit the brakes, it switched back and stuck him there! it was very unlucky, as i was always sliding out of that corner!

Don't look that bad, a lot of those light scratches would compound out with a buffer.

A good body shop would sort your bumper no probs, plastic weld etc.

Get some quotes........................

There is a slight dent in the door where the tree hit it i think. I lost control, fun but expensive....

 

[LegoHead]

Right, I am in the midlands (wolverhampton), can anyone help out with the scratches please?

Hope you get it all fixed and back to normal soon.

You need a mate with one of these pc's and that know's how to use them.
You can pick front bumper's up off ebay for £50. Never seen sideskirt's though..
Lookin at the front bumper, can it just be repaired rather than replaced?

i was thinking of putting a bit of plastic underneath to bridge the gap and hold it tight together, I have no idea if it can be repaired, but apparently it can, as I was quoted £470 for the lot at crown street motors in wolves.

Your door doesn't look like it matches the wing for colour in the pic showing the side. Its probably just the light but it doesn't look right to me. That will my worst knightmare come wednesday. I just hope that they have sorted it.

Must be the pic polar, as the sills like that too.

Good luck getting it sorted mate.

Thats renault paintwork for you.

Apparently the plasticisers in the paint on the wings does make it slightly different

Its not the plasticisers, its just the different surface its being painted onto, you'll never be able to match plastic with metal. even when they're painted at the same time.
