1286600 2012-07-07 03:56:00 me truck has had a wee misshap . . . . . . . . .

The fibreglass front has been damaged, they are shaped bumper, panel scoops?

Mr nobody is responsible . . . . :D and because i dont have an explanation . . . . . . i dont think its an insurance job . . . ? cos i know i didnt do it .

and im wondering if you can get replacement ones and do they just bolt on?

Im presuming a complete new one will be the only choice since it isnt sitting nicely any more, and it vibrates / flaps a bit when you are touching it, and it has a chunk out of it? ( havnt noticed this on the road as havnt been out of town since it happend to see if it causes major flap or probs


any one got a site i can look at for possible price / costs before i go running off to panel beaters . . . .

1286601 2012-07-07 04:12:00 You should be able to find bumpers from a wreckers or the likes, also look into fiber glassing and bogging up the hole, wet sanding and applying a coat of paint to that. The Error Guy (14052)
1286602 2012-07-07 04:35:00 Should be able to get it fixed by insurance, but you will have to pay the excess. Why not ask your insurance company first. They can only say yes or no.

1286605 2012-07-07 05:13:00 Off course a bit, but what happened with the Fiat 500 Bambino you were going to resurrect?? Richard (739)
1286606 2012-07-07 05:42:00 The bambina...... i ended up giving up on it, and sold it .... i was trying to de clutter my life...lol still trying to...
The week after i sold it, it was up and running by the people who bought it.... :)
The same with my dads Ford Fairlane, a week after i sold that it was going as well, :)

I decided i needed to move on from the past.
The only vehicle i regret selling was my Jeep............ lol weird but true.

1286607 2012-07-07 05:55:00 Leave it, if it fails WOF just tape it up.
It is a 4WD made for bashing up bush tracks. If you are using it for only for town use well thats a crime against the planet.

1286609 2012-07-07 06:28:00 If this is like yours www.imagef1.net.nz you will find most vehicles have ABS (plastic) front and rear bumpers

you can get them plastic welded but the most cost is the painting
