try a scrap yard - check yellow pages, theyll probably give it to you for £10, only problem is you usually have to take it off the scrap car yourself...


failing that RSoles suggestion.

I'm car illiterate.

Thought I'd start off with that statement.

Anyway, looking at selling our car and looks like it's worthwhile buying a new bumper for the one that's dented (Missus had a prang a couple of years ago).

Where do I go to look for such things? (Google isn't helping me in this)?

Cheers all.

There are websites where you can put in the part and colour you need and the scrap yards contact you. Most will send the part via courier. I once sourced a tailgate this way.

I asked my grandpa where the best place to get car bits is.

He replied

"Allied".

I think it's time for his yearly ear-syringing.

Pease Pottage eh? All the best people on this site are from Sussex.

You are car illiterate and you want to replace a part of it yourself?

Not convinced you're following the correct course of action here, but good luck with it anyway...

I know someone who can do it for me, just need to get the bits.

Cheers for the tips.

I found it cheaper to buy a new bumper eBay. It was a cheap as a used one (£50). The bad point was fitting it. It took two people three hours to do. Bumpers are fiddly to fit. You maybe better off in get the price for a cheap one and then knock the price off the car when it comes to negotiation.
