Colin Leake Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Ir you can live with it I'd be tempted to just line the crack up and slap a load of fibre glass on the back to provide the necessary strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lash up. >:-) Well then he will have to do as I did when I bashed my Hymer the same way, go through the Insurance, the total cost to them was £1200 , a new bumper and one rear light cluster.He doesn't need a new panel. It just needs repairing properly. Looks like an easy job to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 When we had a badly cracked rear bumper corner (see below) it was repaired by the insurance as it was part of a much larger 'vandalism' claim, but the repair that was done by the local caravan repair company we used was fantastic and you could NOT tell it had ever been damaged. If it hadn't been part of the larger claim, I certainly would have fixed it myself (excess was £150) as suggested above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
