    I would personally reward her with some trackday tickets.

    all you people seem to be having a go at sheilavw and telling her that her daughter needs to pay and drive more carefully and get a husband/job/better career/new home/new hair style/shoes/fake suntan/uplifts/downlifts/teeth/extensions/etc..............

    when in fact sheilavw only asked where this bumper extension could be purveyed from cheaply

    jeeeeeeeeeez some of you:D

    They always prang their parents cars, and continue to do so because the parents with rare exceptions never make them responsible for the damage, hope you do so OP.

    If they haven't learnt that by the age of 17, then it's far too late to start teaching.

    She should pay for it, I agree that. My niece ripped half my bodykit off the car at just under a week old after being told to drive carefully over the bump as the skirt was low...

    Sorry, but if you let your week-old niece drive then you deserve everything you get :eek:;)

    Hi my daughter has been driving 9 months. I was just relieved no one was hurt. She is paying for the repair. I have sourced a part on ebay, same colour but mines an 02 and the parts of an 04. Being pretty clueless about cars does any expert know if they are the same, or where will I find out? It wouldnt work out too much but would have fitting charges once I received it. Thanks

    OP doesn't appear to want the hassle of having one painted.....

    Trouble is, even buying a 2nd hand part, painted in the same colour, it's still unlikely to be an exact match. Nothing worse than a near match, a "not quite the same".
    The only real world solution is a new part and an expert in paint matching.
