Dynamic Turtle Posted November 25, 2016 Posted November 25, 2016 How much do you think a new MkI 370 Nismo front bumper would cost to buy, spray and fit? Quote
ZMANALEX Posted November 25, 2016 Posted November 25, 2016 Circa £2000.00 Best to phone Nissan for an accurate price on part, however price of fitment and in particular price on paint materials will depend on colour and if Pearl expect a shock. Might be time to phone your friendly insurance company. Alex. Quote
Dynamic Turtle Posted November 25, 2016 Author Posted November 25, 2016 Seriously?! Its black. My excess is £1k, can't believe it would be a £2k job. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk Quote
Jetpilot Posted November 25, 2016 Posted November 25, 2016 I would bet the bumper isnt far of that on its own 1 Quote
Dynamic Turtle Posted November 25, 2016 Author Posted November 25, 2016 is there a guide on how to post photos to the forum? I can't seem to clear any from my gallery and only have 680 bytes (bytes!) remaining. Quote

Dynamic Turtle Posted November 25, 2016 Author Posted November 25, 2016 Lol OK I'm a bit stressed right now and am in a general mode of disbelief. Apologies Zman Quote
Dynamic Turtle Posted November 25, 2016 Author Posted November 25, 2016 It's defo repairable. On the upside a neighbour just knocked on the door and admitted liability for reversing into me. Details exchanged, over to his insurers. Just hope I can get it back before Xmas and not be given a Micra courtesy vehicle in the meantime. Quote

Ekona Posted November 25, 2016 Posted November 25, 2016 Xmas might be a push, but fingers crossed. Fair play for the guy owning up, deffo worthy of buying him a beer I think. 1 Quote

GMballistic Posted November 25, 2016 Posted November 25, 2016 is there a guide on how to post photos to the forum?

There is indeed, ...it's here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/103472-how-to-add-your-photos-to-the-forum/ Sorry to read you've had a bump but as said well done that man for owning up to it. Good luck with the insurers. 1 Quote

HEADPHONES Posted November 26, 2016 Posted November 26, 2016 £241+vat sounds quite reasonable for a bumper. Sounds like a new bumper may work out cheaper than repairing an old one in certain instances! Quote
veilside z Posted November 26, 2016 Posted November 26, 2016 Lets see the photos buddy and if its a solid colour black then all the better. Hopefully you can have this resolved without too much stress to yourself. Quote
sipar69 Posted November 26, 2016 Posted November 26, 2016 Sorry to hear about this. It cost me around £350 to get my bumper re-sprayed by a very good local body shop. They weren't the cheapest but they did a fantastic job - it was better than the factory finish. 1 Quote

Nobody is suggesting that painting a bumper will cost 2k, the vast majority of the cost would be for the replacement Nismo bumper if it can't be repaired. 1 Quote

Thanks Sipar - I'm guessing it's going to be a new bumper job, the plastic is likely to be warped beyond repair. But I'm no expert.... Can't be ars*d with photobucket - pic on the other forum if you're desperate to see it 1 Quote
