08 Avensis New Rear Bumper

[xtc2007]

Today, I stupidly reversed into a wooden stump in a car park!

The bumper needs to be replaced (So i'm told by 3 seperate garages).

Toyota want £675 to do the job! This is crazy considering I replaced the rear bumper on my 400h last year for £400, inc paint, parts labour and that was with an offical Lexus garage! :censor:

I'm still waiting to here from the smaller workshops.

Does anyone know of some cheap yet reliable workshops in and around Reading, Wokingham, Bracknell?

The damage is quite bard, its on the left corner of the bumper, a long narrow gouge about 6/7 inches long top to bottom, with the bumper support strut just poking through.

My mates reckon I can buy some filler from Halfords, take my time and do a semi tidy job to tie me over. What do people think?

Any help on repairs/local garages would be great!

The bumper element of it is £182, the rest is for fitting and painting

Bumpers can be plastic welded and filled, but on a gouge that bad, it would end up looking a dogs dinner. Plastic painting is an expensive labour intensive job, the plasticiser alone is mega bucks before you add any colour

Do some more shopping around and see if you can knock them down a bit

You can always use your insurance company!

Thanks PartsKing.

Forgot to add to orginal message...

Does anyone know of a toyota car parts dealer, who I can buy a rear bumper off??

Fit it myself and then take it to a spray shop? Or it comes in my colour (Silver steel)

Thanks for help in advance!
