Small crack near the indicator but that's all taking it off tomorrow and putting my old 75 bumper with the missing grill and chrome on so I have my car for work then I'm taking the bumper to get a repair and full respray at there expense don't think they wanted to go through the insurance

Very sorry to hear that, I wonder if you'll ever drive in her again.

No, seriously the same happened to me recently, other driver paid up and and car looks like it just came out the factory. I've only driven it once since, I was so nervous in case I did something to it to spoil it!

From what I have been told they should have the bumper painted good as new by Saturday it should look better than it did as it will be a nice new coat of paint

Took my bumper to the spray shop today my car looks a little strange with a 75 bumper with no chrome and no grill but least it means I have my car for work
