source the parts yourself second hand, then take them to a bodyshop to spray n fit.

 

[yellow182jon]

The bodyshop in banbury called CarBody know my car very very well and are Excellent with the liquid yellow

I paid £550 for my bonnet/bumper/wings to be sprayed (paid in cash) just a few months ago

But i didnt put 2nd parts on my car..(i needed a new bumper/grill/headlamp) i would stick to brand new if you can afford it!

[Fred@BTM]

do you have your old bumper per chance bubbles??

 

[Bubbles]

No sorry fred... the bodyshop had all the old parts

yellow182jon, if i can be of any help just PM me, im only down the road!

 

[Spammy]

Oh my! That looks awesome! If/when I get a 182/Vee it shall be in Liquid Yellow

 

[yellow182jon]

yes mate and this is what it looks like at night

 

[Fletcher]

^^^ Unlucky mate hope you get it fixed and back to looking like that soon.

 

[Bubbles]

It looked good last weekend too

 

[Tom_E]

hope you get it fixed mate! wicked colour it is!

 

[makavelli]

ive just fixed my front end up matey
front bumper was 220 inc vat from reno and that includes being primed up and ready to paint! my local dealer got it in for me for the following morning so went straight to paint shop and that was 135 quid to spray!

all in all i dont think thats too bad cos peeps on ebay want between 100-200 for second hand bumpers that will need to be sanded and primed so 220 for a brand spanker thats ready to paint is pretty good imo!

soz about the crash btw

Bubbles, your bumper after t-cutting looks as if it could be repaired quite easily. I had a crack in my bumper on my old car, worse than that, garage just repaired it somehow, resprayed it and it looked like new. Like £50 or something. I'm surprised you needed a new bumper from the looks of that.

I wouldnt of wanted it repaired, it was all cracked

 

[yellow182jon]

cheers guys will take everything in consideration

 

[yellow182jon]

Bubbles: I see. One thing's for sure, your car looks so much better without the stripes.
