Just front bumper and light pushed in. Do panel beaters repair plastic bumpers or is it just replaced with a new one now days! Its on an 09 wingroad. Not huge damage but has pushed and grazed the bumper up pretty good. Haven't had an accident for about 15 years

Yep, there are specialist bumper repairers - panel beaters remove the bumpers and send them off to be fixed, then send them to their favourite painters for finishing!

Or the decent ones plastic weld them, prime paint and refit them, do the whole job, dont know what backyard panelbeaters you have been to

Most bumpers are repaired these days unless too badly damaged. I presume you are getting it repaired under insurance, let them sort it.

they weigh up the cost of repairing and purchasing a 2nd hand unit. which ever is the least they take that route and charge you for which cost the most.

09 y12 wingroad.there is goining to bemore damagebehind.that you cannot see.best to let your insurance company sort it out.The good panel shops may repair it.but todays insurance companys (IAG) may just weigh it up and write itoff. . butI cant see the damage. so im just going by expereience.there is a lot of consideration (crash wise) on parts/panel/paint to be considered.etc.but if they(IAG) repaired more cars. then there would be MORE work for all the motoring industry.more work.equals more jobs.more jobs .equals more spending.more spending equals . more jobs. CATCH 22. just my2 cents worth.cheers.:)
