Following my little oopsie last weekend, I have been looking into getting facelifted bumpers and side skirts instead of the old ones.
The bodyshop said they're happy to do this if I pay the difference above the original parts and the insurance company agree.
I got some prices from a very helpful lady at my local dealer and it's a tad pricey:
- £95 (inc VAT) to upgrade the front and rear bumpers (may have to get different front fogs as well)
- £358 (inc VAT + 10% disc) for side skirts.
So everything is just shy of £500. (I know this is a LOT less than having it done under normal circumstances)
My question for you guys is:
do you think the car would look daft with facelift front and rear bumpers but no sideskirts? I would get these at a later date. Unless I can do some financial magic I doubt I can go the whole hog straight away.
(Oh, if anyone wants to try their hand at a bit of phtotchopping, feel free )
