Had a bit of a silly moment this weekend and drove into another cars back. :'( It looks like that I'm gonna need a new front bumper. Do you nice guys know where to get one? Local scrappy may be? How much I might need to spend on this?
Thanks all..

Post a wanted ad for a bumper (and bonnet ;) ) in the test ssection and an admin will move it to the relevant section for you.
Bumper, possibly around £50. Bonnet,if its in nice condition,about the same probably.

OK, I will. What about the bits under the headlamps? Please notice in the posted pics that the headlamp washer nozzle also fell off.

if it silver bonnet just listed on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-Omega-Bonnet-Silver-/271041664390?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AOmega&hash=item3f1b579586

Headlamp trim doesnt look broken to me but if it is I would think you wouldnt pay more than a tenner for one.Headlamp washer probably £15-20.
Your biggest problem may be finding parts in the correct colour. ;)

Yes, it seems golden is kinda rarer than other colours. :(

I like the colour though, it looks really nice when it's washed and in sun 8). Now I hope I will find the parts. I've been kicking myself since Monday for being stupid enough to drove it back into somebody else.

Thanks a lot for this. I'm gonna chase the guy for the bonnet and bumper.

Shame your not nearer Devon, I'm breaking a gold V6 estate and you could have had the bonnet, keeping the bumper as its better than mine so going to spray it silver. (Father in law tended to use the bumpers as parking sensor)

;D thats hilarious ;D

Looking at the pics, you're also going to need a new metal bumper backing bar. These are designed as little crumple zones, and get mullered in light impact shunts. You'll see what I mean once you take the plastic bumper off. :y
-
It's been quite a while and still haven't found any golden bumper in decent condition. I've been keeping an eye on the ebay but no luck. A forum member suggested to fit bumper of another colour and respray it but that might be too expensive for me. Is there any other option I should look at?
Thanks all.

I would get any colour bumper and stick it on for now , then save up and get it sprayed ... at least you will be able to use the car . Maybe even rub the paint off it or key it ready for paint to save money ;) if it was a silver one im sure you would have no trouble getting one :y

Thanks for your suggestions. That's exactly what I'm thinking now. When I bought the car didn't realise that it's such a rare one. Do you have any idea approx how much it might cost to respray the bumper?

Someone on here does them , cant remember who though unless someone else can ... quite recently a repair was done to a front bumper that was split in a few places then resprayed ;)

You must've seen the photos I posted. Do you reckon it can fixed without fitting a new one?

From what i can see i think it would be better having a fresh start as it looks too far gone tbh , if repaired it could eventually split costing you more in time ... there is a post on here where the guy showed us repair pictures stage by stage ...

OK...I'll try to find the post. Looking at ebay at the moment and found a few guys breaking their Omegas (in black, silver etc though). Trying to contact them to haggle.

Hi if you can get over to me I have a front bumper from a cdx which has a couple of bits that will need a rub down, but as you are repainting it will be done anyway. I also have the hard plastic /foam bit that sits on the inside of the bumper. You can have both free of charge..
Just to give you some idea i changed mine over for a mv6 bumper which i had to fill rub down and respray materials, it cost me about £75 and then just my time in doing it. You could have a go yourself its not hard it just takes patients as prep work is key. :y
cheers Paul.
