luka761 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Right so just outside of camp my car gets head butted by this giant ginger vermin fox thingy. There is plastic inside the interior of the engine bay and I'm worried that something might get stuck somewhere where it does some real damage to the motor. Any advice would be much appreciated. In addition an estimate of how much roughly im looking at to repair this mess would be welcome.

leodspider Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Ahh i had similar incident last year, cost me about £150 to fix and tbh your better off investing on a new bumper, because of the clear break when bonded back you can tell it's bent in someday or another, also the grill will be removed as it can't be bonded back.

rtbiscuit Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 depends on how much you want to spend, do you want to return it to stock, or to improve it slightly. Option 1 Original bumper glued, grille cut out, replace with some grille mesh. £100-£150 Option 2 get a 2nd hand front bumper £150 - £200 but if it needs respraying to match the car then add another £250-£450 Option 3 buy after market bumper, still needs to be sprayed could be anywhere between £600-£2000 depending on what bumper you went for and how much prep work it needed. etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is so irritating I could scream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 you could possibly get option 1 done but have a smart repair done on top which would be around £80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luka761 Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 I think I might get a front splitter to go over the crack and new mesh from somewhere. If anyone has any recommendations that would be much appreciated. In addition having looked at this morning the front left cooling fan has been knocked out of its socket, not sure what the extent of the damage is there, right hand one seems ok but now I guess I need to look out for overheating though there were no signs of it for 30mins on idle this morning. What a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 have a chat with tarmac sportz they do some lips. mesh wise go have a browse on the eBay. don't get cheap mesh it will rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theheff Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 personally i think foxes are planning an assault with an intention of taking of the UK, one went down my road a couple of weeks and went gangsta on most of the bin bags get ready people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
