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.

doubt you could repair that!

just buy it and buy a new bumper ;)


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 :(

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

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.

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 .

takes like a year of waiting around, theres one on there now but its ages away and i cba arranging a courier.

this guy is 10mins away from me and i dont mind the repair work.

gonna take the dive :D
 
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.

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

really, how much are they new?
