Just backed into a car...

[Matt02SS]

i just backed into another car, its not really bad, but the bumber has come off on the drivers side, cracked on the corner and a couple of scrapes. i will be taking it to a crash repairer monday. anyone know weather its going to be cheaper to replace the whole bumper or just repair it. so annoyed.

[Matt02SS]

anyone?

[GetToDaChopa]

I'd say another bumper be around maybe ??? $100-200 ??? from the wreckers. I'd say replace the damn thing and you're done.

[Matt02SS]

but what about paint? it will look different..

[davway]

well get one the same colour.

[valakis_vx]

what you mean it will look different? get a new bar, give it to the painter with your fuel cap and hell match it

[Scooter79]

What about the car you hit?

[Haydz]

id say hunt the wreckers till you find one in the right colour.
then buy it and chuck it on.

it was my girlfriends mum's car (pretty crappy old lancer which she has dented scratched up badly already). there was a dent in the door, and some of my paint which rubbed off, but not much damage there.

Anyone have a rough idea on how much a full respray would cost? i want to get the purple holden used on the 07 commodores, been looking for an excuse to save for a respray

[Haydz]

2000+ depends how much prep work you do yourself and who you know. its all got to do with who you know.

i know some tafe's let the training spray painters practice on peoples cars etc. and you have to pay minimal amounts of money.

Mate do you know how I would get into contact with such a service. Need a rear quarter panel painted, and cheaply! Its almost like getting a haircut at the barbers college or something
