Hi guys,

 

well.. I shunted the back of a land rover defender this morning.. im really rather upset :( damned invulnerable tow hooks.. didnt even move, thought i'd been hit by an asteroid !!! :?

 

i need some advice on what to do with the car now.. heres whats happened

 

1. obviously bumper is wrecked.

2. some sort of metal strip on top of the bumper is bent

3. left headlight unit wrecked.

4. left hand indicator glass and unit wrecked.

 

anyone got any opinions on what i will need to do ? im new to the modding scene.. so not sure if i want to mod it big style yet, or wether to put it back to how it was last night... the way i love rados :)

 

thanks for any help you can give me..

 

Dave

you can get some bits off ebay,but that metal strip above the bumper is part of the front panel which costs mega bucks someone on here had to get one and it cost something like £700 :shock:

dsdev,

 

I agree with dazzyvr6. My bar was bludgeoned when I bought the C. I was

foolish enough to think it is merely a trim that goes below the lights. I managed

to get mine sorted by a good bodyshop, but it still cost me £150.

 

Rest of it shouldn't be that painful, I hope.

 

Naturally, I think that the Corrado looks gorgeous as it is so I would try to

return it to the same state before your accident, although, I am becoming

more and more tempted by a Rieger grill 8)

 

Not helping you much by saying it is up to you really :oops: You're the

one driving it, no one else

 

Have fun though!

thanks for the replies.

 

unfortunately the damage on mine seems much worse than yours, and the metal strip is already bent in half and kind of folded. im getting the feeling im gonna get really screwed for a lot of money....

 

im going to get another standard bumper.. i dont want to ruin the standard look, it's not worth it.. i think they are very elegant cars in standard form... and im not a boy racer anymore :)

 

thx

check out http://www.venommotorsport.com, they have a lot of nice front bumpers,there not too max power but make the corrado subtly different!

Sorry to hear your bad luck, I'd stick with the OE stuff, as Daz said keep an eye out on Ebay, http://www.performancevwmag.com is good for spares too..

 

Goodluck.. :D

What colour is the car mate and where in the country are you?

A good bodyshop will be able to replace that strip for you depending how far in the damage is. If you need a bumper I have one that I was going to put up for sale it's an early one though so it has the recessed fogs and indicators dont know weather yours is early or late style give me a shout if your interested!

I have a slam panel for sale. Its currently on my 95 VR6, but apparently it is actually a G60 one. I't fits well, I didnt know for 2 yrs! but when I found out it had to be swapped for a proper one!

Following an 'incident' last night I too now have some interesting curves at the front end. I can probably kick the slam panel straight-ish for now, but would be interested in buying a good 'un for the right price.

 

Should think myself lucky that I got away without a scratch on the bonnet or wings I guess!
