FIESTA_MAD Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 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?

Do you have any pics? well i aint got any no claims so thats kinda good in a way and no pics but it really is just a crack and a scuff nothing bad but i know its gonna cost to repair or replace the bumper.
