Hi All,
I've got a nasty scrape on the corner of my front bumper about the size of a football, where I clipped a concrete column in an underground car park... :'(
I know of a bumper in good nick at a good price but its about 500 mile round trip to get it :-/
I know its not an easy one to answer but has anyone any idea how much it might cost to fix the scrape? ie anyone had anybody had some bodywork done recently? ::)
Cheers
Steve

surely the cost in fuel and the cost of the replacement would be more expensive than gettin your one repaired
-
E-mail this member Simon_Omega he`s near to you. Might be able to help :)

This is my dilemma! Cost of fuel and replacement will be about £90 - £100. I could repair it myself but I'll make pigs ear of it!!! ;D

When I lived in Bristol I had my Elite's rear bumper repaired by a firm in Filton, but I can't remember their name. ::) ::)
However, I have a funny feeling that now they could be these people, Ding Masters:

Worth a try I reckon, as they seem to offer the same services as the company I used all those years back and they were very good! :y :y :y

Thanks for that Lizzie, know I should get a quote or two. I just thought that there might have been someone here today that had had similar work done and could give me a pointer as what it might cost :y

With mine it cost just £40 to make my bumper look like new, but that was about 9 years ago!! ::) ::) ;)
-
If only!! ;D
-
Or maybe someone knows of a reasonable price company that can courier the bumper?? Saves you a 500m trip at least...they are 1.7m long so just too long to be sent my most couriers...
-
Its your bumper I'm talking about MC ;D Maybe we need to develop the OOF parts relay scheme!!! ;)
-
Yeah I know mate lol Anyone posted a bumper?? If so who did you use and how much?
-
i used parcel force 48 to send a mondeo bumper before christmas and it cost just under £20
and loo knee sent sill covers to me via dhl do not know what it cost him
-
Is the mondeo narrower though?? If its under 1.5m and 30kg then your ok...the Omega bumper is longer
-
i dont know i phoned them up and told them what i wanted to send they just said to pack it well and would not be a problem
they picked it up next day and delivered two days later to liverpool
and the omega sill covers are nearly 2m long they came fine

Had a cat delivered from Southampton (CATMAN) to Stevenage.
Cost £12.50 by courier. Total cost with gasket £104. Paid son £40 to fit it 'cos he was short of money. Rather pay him than exhaust centre who were quoting £200+.
Took him 45 minutes. I'm happy, he's happy :)
Bumpers probably longer, but cat heavier.
By the way, catman very friendly.

from there website
Check the individual parcel weight and dimensions are within the maximum weight and dimensions we accept by visiting our delivery speeds and country information pages. For the UK these are: weight - there is no limit to the weight of a multi-parcel consignment but individual parcels must not exceed 30kg; length and girth - the size of each parcel must not exceed 3 metres length and girth (measured around its thickest part) combined and 1.5 metres for the greatest dimension. Girth should be calculated as twice the height of theparcel plus twice the width of the Parcel measured around its thickest part.
Make sure your parcel is packaged correctly. Help on packaging can be found on our packaging guidelines page.

The problem there is the "1.5 metres for the greatest diamension" :(
Think I'll have a phone round on Mon. I've been looking at www.interparcel.com, and got a quote of £6.99 + VAT for a 15kg 170x30x30cm parcel, which seems too cheap!? ::)
-
what it basically means is 3m x 1.5m and a bumper isnt that big
-
It means none of the dimensions can measure more than 1.5m and its length is 1.7m which is greater
-
give them a ring 08708 501150.you have nothing to loose :)
-
failing that try this site it lets you put your dimensions in weight etc then gives you a price

Should not cost more than £120 to repair. My girlfriend did this to a car I hired for her once. Where I worked at the time there was a vehicle refinisher who came and worked in the car park so I got a quote of £90 but it was too far for her to travel s she went with a local garage who charge £110.

Ok bumper is 170 x 50 x 30cm which makes it much higher...however...170 x 45 x 30 is 8.81 plus vat think we can squeeze it in :y
-
who did you decide to use in the end
just for future reference
-
Thats with interparcel...although yet to be seen if they are jobsworths with the actual dimensions being a cm or 2 more
