350Chris Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Afternoon one and all, after a rear end cost (not the premium peppermint hippo type of tail I hasten to add) I viewed a car at the weekend which had one or two downsides - one of which was a rear bumper in need of (at the very least) a respray - but probably replacement if I were to be truely happy with it. Can anyone give me a rough guesstimate of what rear ends go for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwra Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 When I was looking, I found the aftermarket stuff came in at a lot cheaper than OE anyway - I remember one repair quote of £13K from an insurer that actually got done for less than £6K. Might be worth looking into decent quality aftermarket rather than OE, they would both need spraying anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350Chris Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Thanks all - I thought of eBay just after I posted this up - the bank holiday activities have really numbed my brain eBay seems to range from £150+ I have a contact for spraying so not overly worried about that. Could probably di it all in for near as £200. There are aftermarket ones but none that really push my buttons. I would also be concerned that cheap aftermarket = cheap GRF = appauling fit In the end, there are a number of other issues with the car that I have seen that just don't add up to it being a sensible purchase - so the hunt continues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
