figgy Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Depends on repair or replacement costs as to what to do. If only cheap ish to do don't claim as it will cost you in future in premiums. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marki Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 If it's just cosmetic and you don't have the cash then ignore it for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymo Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Fleabag for a like coloured replacement- can't work out a hell of a lot cheaper than loss of NCB, premium increases and payment of the excess. Done it a few times unfort for the mrs ( she swears the accidents/incidents weren't her fault???) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil3728 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Depends how bad the damage is, Someone hit mine last summer, when I took it to the garage for assessment, they were able to heat the bumper up and pop it back into place. Mine still went through the Ins as it's a company car so no short cuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 As said! Try a DIY repair. First I would take a look behind the bumper and make sure it is just the bumper that's damaged. Then off to the bay of fleas or even a local breakers for a replacement bumper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
