cost to replace the front bumper?

[smoked]

Frikking deer ran out infront of my car and cracked the front bumper.

had a quick look the sensor bracket has been dented, the sensor is working fine. the area around the tow socket is cracked as is the bottom edge.

its all still working fine - the charging cap opens and closes fine - nothing else seems to be damaged.

so what would the cost be to replace this?

There are plenty of places out there that do plastic bumper repairs which will be much cheaper. I had a chap roll back into my front and pushed the radar sensor back with his towbar, didn't look much, in fact it was hardly noticeable. I was at least 2 months waiting for parts from China. must have cost his insurance company a fortune, they gave me a Merc EQC as a rental, didn't cost me a penny.

looking at the damage this morning its not as bad as i feared.

the tow hook socket should be able to be smart repaired. the sensor has slotted back in to its socket though i'm not sure how well its fitted in and if its aligned properly.

This was my damage, a bit worse than yours.

what damage was done to the sensor?

Mine's playing up - no frontal warning the sensor is clear with nothing obstructing it but isnt detecting. gonna have a mate raise it up on his garage lift to see underneath it but i have a feeling i'll have to take it into chorley mg for a proper diagnosis

what damage was done to the sensor?

After an initial period of about a day it all started working again as if nothing had happened. I assumed it had readjusted itself to its new position.
