the other party wanted me to get a quote for a new bumper?????
MB robinsons (norwich)
£460+VAT primed!

 

[Baron_Samedi]

Any chance of sweetening the deal for the 3rd party by sourcing a used bumper?

Just in case she bottles out and does the insurance route....

also get your bonnet checked, looks misaligned

How about replacing the bumpers with the AMG ones? There might be some used ones on eBay.
