hello,
I've bumped my neighbours car!! rear bumper, scratch and one of the parking sensors has popped inwards.
it's a 54 plate.
I've been trying to get a rough idea of how much a new bumper would be(worst case scenario) but can't find one online, none of the cart part sellers seem to have any listed, only front ones.
am I missing something???
thanks in advance.

second hand but its better than going main dealer for a special order item with sensor holes.
prep and paint this one.0 -
Wont be the price of the bumper you want to worry about. You will have labour costs for strip and refit.
Then I expect the biggest cost will be to paint it to match the car.0 -
As above the labour to strip and paint it, If you dont get a good one in perfect condition.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0

i find most salvage bumpers have marks and scuffs its practically unavoidable, some salvage bumpers come from the bodyshop themselfs if they think its worthy of being recycled, some offer to repair and paint at extra expense provided you pay for the service and provide the paint code.0
