2003 Focus Accident Damage

Featured Replies

Friend of mine has just had a low speed shunt in her 2003 Focus Flight. Damage looks superficial; at best just a bumper required, at worst the crossmember/bumper support behind. Not sure on that one, it's dented but looks straight; however it looks straight in the flesh, yet my picture for reference doesn't!

Is there anything else I should be looking for? All hoses, radiator, cabling, side panels/wheel arches, bonnet & slam panel all appear perfectly intact. Obviously wary of crumple points that may not be instantly visible.

I reckon new slam panel and bumper/brackets are enough.

Upper grille is a bit off but probably just because the bumper is not supporting it.

I would say new crash bar will be required as it looks like she has hit a towbar or small post or something like that with the central damage, the crash bar also appears to be lower than it possibly should be on the passenger side.

New bumper as well and I reckon it would be pretty good.

Only way to be sure is to remove bumper and crash bar and lift the bonnet and look for any other signs of damage to front crumple zones etc.
