Yesterday, I got into an accident and I damaged my front bumper. I have never dealt with this kind of thing before and I’m afraid it might be totaled due to the repair prices. The plastic covering is wrecked and the steel bumper is badly bent in. Anyone know if this is an easy fix or not?

 

If it were me, I'd be looking for an aftermarket bush bumper of some sort. Also, there are used parts available. If you're in the US, check out roverguy.com, Will Tillery, based in Virginia. He's very good to deal with. For an item as large as a bumper, shipping outside the US will probably not be cost effective.

 

Not a difficult repair to do yourself.

Biggest thing will be collecting all the parts without breaking the bank.

I may be able to help with some parts.

Where are you located

 

Looks like the brush guard crushed in and should've save the frame rails.

Your cheapest option will be grabbing a steel bumper from Lucky8LLC.
The light you can pickup used from eBay.

Hoods are fairly cheap at pull-a-parts or similar, though a dented hood is usually fine.

Grill can also be grabbed from LK8 with the bumper.

 

If you are in Canada shipping from the UK is your best bet for aftermarket, it is insane but my new rear bumper is $100+ cheaper ordering from UK as to ordering from the US and it arrives in 4-5 days.

 

UPS/USPS really dislikes you Canadians. Wanted to charge me $75 shipping for a headlight to send up there.

 

@logan_gibson just as bad on our side they hit you with 30-50 dollar paper work fee. Not saying the rear bumper was cheap to ship at almost 300.00 CDN, but there is no cheap option,at least the paperwork charge was all of 11.00.

 

Aftermarket steel is going to be as economical as used factory. cost wise,, it will be Factory new > factory used > aftermarket steel.

 

Logan, at least USPS/Canada Post don't charge us another exorbitant "brokerage" fee when the part arrives, as do UPS, and all the other courier services.

Richard, where did you order your bumper from, and which one did you get? I may be in the market for a front bush bumper.

 

Paddock spares,but I checked Bearmach and few others was well. They all were happy to send a shipping quote, Paddock was the best for shipping.
