Nice deals

 

Autofive

 

and GSF

 

Or source the parts on here in the wanted section?

 

Is it the black/grey bit of the bumper or the lower valance?

Any pictures of the damage ?

[stubby205 0]

thanks, it is the black bumper above valance, not got any pics yet gotta go work in a min so will try get a pic on 2mora.

£20 odd for a Valeo headlamp from various sources, £100 + vat IIRC for a genuine peugeot bumper.

 

£25 odd for a trim fitting kit for the bumper, and £20 odd for the red stripe.

 

+ labour.

thanks guys, gonna take it garage at weekend to get a quote incase i have to go through his insurance.

I'd try and repair it without getting insurance involved - They'll write it off more than likely, even with as little damage as a busted bumper and headlight in my experience

[CaptainK 11]

I got a (granted rear) bumper from GSF for my 205 and it cost me about £30-35. Fitted it with my brother and swapped the red trims over myself (you need a tool to that that? :? We did it manually).

About two and a half years ago a Travis Perkins lorry ripped the rear bumper off the car and caused very minor cosmetic damage to the rear quarte panel. It went through the insurance and I got a payout of £400. One patent bumper costing less than £40 and it looked almost as good as new, thus I profited to the tune of £350. My insurer kept the car still fully insured till the end of the policy and it did not count as a claim.

did you have to get a quote from the garage?

 

iam a little worried about going through the insurance incase they do say its a write off, because i will not give it up id rather pay myself.

 

thanks for replying

Sorry to hear mate - nice to see someone else from Crewe area on here though!

 

I hope you battered your neighbour

You can get some second hand parts from my brother in Stoke - www.yorkesport.co.uk as he has quite a bit of stock. If you get one new headlight, you will have to buy a matching new one for the other side!!

As per my previous posts, I'm getting thru' the same senario, lol. Its surprising how quickly the money goes, even using some used parts! New wing and front H'lamp support panel £60. H'lamp and indicator, £38. S'hand bumper £10. Brackets £30.S/hand spoiler £10. Respray...£? and another 50 quid or so for odds and sods. Pain in the ass really. But the insurance WILL say £2k-= write-off! keep it friendly and you will get thru' it. you just got to be a bit creative.

Hi again, the insurance loss assesor (sp) was from my company. A £400 cheque was his first and final offer, all organised within about 1 week of the accident. He said if I wanted to take it further then he was 99% certain the car would be written off and I would then have to buy it back, also the fact that they were happy to still cover the car fully comp until it ran out I wasn't for complaining. My insurance only cost £200 and my valuation of the car was only around the £450 mark anyway. I then sold the car months later for £275, so I was happy, and so was Baz LOL.

Ok I went garage yesterday and they need to have a propper look so it's booked in for Thursday they specialise in 205's as the owner used to rally them and they did my engine rebuild last year so hopefully they can sort sum cheap bits. I'll report back Thursday nite hopefully.

That was lucky! Did you forget they were up there?! Maybe you could find more bits and build another car

 

Good luck with the repairs, someone drove into my Polo last month and it's only just getting fixed after a lot of hassle. They insisted on going through the insurance but I managed to get a good quote and I told the assessor I'd be gutted if it was written off because although it's not worth much at least I know its history. I think he felt sorry for me, ha ha

 

I think the girl who hit me will regret going through the insurance though, she was only 18, I dread to think what she'll be paying next year

[stubby205 0]

thanks, i knew i had some bits but couldnt remem what they where. got like three drivers headlights and one passenger which i needed and four wing mirrors lol. loads of interiour dash n body panels lol.

[stubby205 0]

Ok I picked my car up from the garage today it's gonna cost 158.00 for headlight and new bumper and cooling fan plus labour, also as I found a new rear bumper that I forgot I had they gona fit for me. I've done them before and it's a pain so I'll leave it to them
