Bumper Damage-Help Required - mickydd - 19-05-2013 11:51am
OK So some idiot reversed in to a wall.
I could blame the other half, I'm sure she won't read this.
But I admit it, reversed out of a parking bay, reverse camera as usual was slow to display and Bang,
Any thoughts on repair, replacement????
Thanks.

.Sorry for your damage, the same thing happened to me (I blamed the wife
).But your in luck, this part if the rear bumper can be removed as the tow eye is behind it. Two screws on the underside, give it a pull down & it will come off in your hands.
This is a lot easy/cheaper for your local body shop to repair & spray the panel. This means you still have the use of your car when the repair is carried out & no over spray/dust all over the car.Cost should be under £100.

If you had to pick a panel to hit, youd pick that one, easy to remove and have done properly!

Hey Mickydd, PM me and I'll let you have details of an independent body repairer who fixed my rear bumper and panel after the wife grazed it against a wall. The chap I used does a lot of these repairs for local LR dealers, he's based in Bradford but is mobile.

Oh you are so lucky you only got that bit............................ My reversing incident ended up with a £1600 bill!

That should be £50 to £100 to get resprayed. Also Indus Silver is a very good silver to match (unlike most) as it only has one "shade"

Thanks everyone, I forgot about this being the removable panel for the towing eye.
Singhy, have sent you a PM.
