Default Gutted, Bumper and undertray needed

More bad luck,

All that seams to be happening to me at the moment,





And to top it off it stinks of Rabbit being cooked,



Anyone know where i can find the price of a Bumper and the undertray bit for that side,

Its popped the wheel arch out but hope this just clips back in and is not bolted in, not looked really as was dark when it happened,

Hope there is no more damage,

All i could smell the 30+ miles home was cooking Rabbit

I think its easier and cheaper to repair it..

the damage is quite little from what I gather from the pictures, unless I'm wrong?

Can the crack in the Bumper be Repaird?

Had a good look this morning and it seams that, a Few clips missing and some undertray missing is all it seams to have done,

Popped the wheel arch back into place just need the clips for it now,

I cannot find where the bits of Rabbit are that are making the horrid smell thoguh,

The bumper could be plastic welded.

Might not be cost effective though.

Find a good body shop to plastic weld and respray, or get a second hand bumper from a breakers. Biggest cost will be the respray, not sure what a new bumper from honda would be.

I've just had an OEM bumper modded with some platic welding.
It will need a full respray after though

That bumper will easily repair.
Gritty's was far worse and it repaired fine.

Indeed. Can't see your photos at work, but mine has been repaired with no problems at all.

The difference in my case was that I don't have headlamp washers, as it's an import. If I bought a new bumper then I would have had to have the holes filled, which would have been more expense. I think I paid £180 to have it repaired and resprayed.
