hi

i own a 2011 (61 plate) fiesta zetec and i rear ended a mk5 fiesta lol at no more than 5mph all my bumper has is a crack and a scratch and the chrome trim is broken aswell as the number plate holder thing so the whole front bumper needs replaced .

i would go through insurence but at £300 excess i wanna try get it sorted for a little more than this myself if possible as the excess would go up to £500 if i claim.

was thinking maybe something like this

is this possible with new parts or should i just pay the £300 ?

thanks.

    Avoid going through insurance at all costs, ruin your no-claims and you'll then be seen as 'a risk' to them in future.

    Do you have any pics?
