Crashed.......

As above, swung out of a parking space & hit the near side front wing. It looks like a 60mph crash but was only 5mph if not slower :(

Going to need a near wing, bumper & wheel arch plastic trim inside arch. Going to source from scrappie but anyone know how much to fit above? Just a rough estimate. No internal components damaged all cosmetic.
House renovation savings £25,000/£25,000
Emergency fund £1000

    depends on the car bolt on or welded wings? could easily be a £150 job on a single wing for removal and welding on a new wing.


    bolt on is simple to do and DIY. just follow online guide for your make and model from a forum such as Renault forums if a Renault etc.

    DUTR - hoping to get a local garge to do it for me.

    Atrix Blue - It's bolt on. Had a look on You Tube don't look too tough a job, tempted to go for it.

    Strider - Who said reverse parked?

    You said front wing, so initially it sounds like the typical reversing out of parking space incident.

    Really useful, don't tell us the make and model.
    I'll pluck a random number out of the air - £153.39.
