Advice On Getting A New Bumper & Engine Shield

[scaryfruit]

Hi all,

After a low impact knock during the week, I need to replace the front bumper on my Fiesta as it now has a few cracks! It's for a silver 2009 MK7 with front parking sensors. One of the local dealers I called is quoting around £430 (inc VAT), which comes pre-painted silver. Does anyone know any online dealers who would be cheaper?

Also, I've found the driver's side bracket on the underside engine shield has snapped. It was hanging down a bit which I've temporarily fixed. Does anyone know an online dealer who could supply one of those too? So far I've been quoted £66 inc VAT.

Thanks in advance and hope you're all enjoying the weather!

When I saw the title of this thread on the home page it said "Advice On Getting A New Bum..."

I'd try the scrap yards or eBay.

i take it that you are aware that the holes have to be cut for the parking sensors, regrdless of if they are genuine fit or aftermarket

Thanks for the replies so far. I'll certainly work on my own rear end once I've sorted out my car's front end :)

I'll keep an eye on eBay and scrap yards, but in the mean time if anyone can recommend any good online parts place who would have what I'm after, please let me know.

Quick! Minor paint damage doesn't matter too much as you'll be respraying anyway.

I don't know of any online site that sells body panels, I'd be intrigued to know if anyone knows one :)

Thanks for those links! Speaking as someone with little knowledge of bodywork, I take it a professional company doing the re-spray will be able to change it to silver no matter what the existing colour is?

Keeping on the topic of re-sprays, can anyone tell me how to find the paint code on the MK7 (Moondust Silver)?

Thanks. Can I ask where you got that from? I've been looking around t'interweb and have found that the paint code should be on my VIN plate, although it doesn't make it clear where. But I can't find the code you've mentioned on my VIN plate. Does that mean it's located somewhere else on the car?

Thanks. Can I ask where you got that from?

From my previous post here:P Before that I had Googled the white paint code and found a list of others.
