Hey all,

I had 2 arse***es bump my car in 1 week (front pretty bad) when I parked it in the multi story car park, they have trashed both my bumpers which I had fully colour coded and now theres little annoying divets in them grrrrr...and cracked my boot flush :(, for what it's worth getting the bumpers repaired im just aswel getting new ones.

so does anyone know of a good source to get new VT bumpers, need to be new really as I want to spray the black strips on them again as it looked ace.
But I was thinking to myself if im getting new bumpers would I be better getting aftermarket ones, Ive heard some aftermarket bumpers can be annoying to fit as they dont fit properly and need modifing....and im not looking to spend £££'s just want it looking fresh again. cus got the carbon bonnet to order new angels again as they got cracked on impact :rage: and get the boot re-smoothd/sprayed.

Cheers

Just a closer inspection of damage, the back is just a straight new bumper, but the front is a bit worse :( need a new bonnet slam panel, and not to sure how to solve this one, the front bumper doesnt line up with headlights or bonnet now so theres like a fingers width gap between the two, had a look inside the bonnt and it seems the 2 metal plates that join the front bumper on are ever so slightly bent,
could I just bend them back or would I have to get replacements....help please...Ive got piks but dont know how to upload them ?!?!?!?!

register with photobucket, up load to their and then post hte link of the uploaded photo

the metal plates, if they're what I think they are should be able to be bent back, as they support the bumper a bit
