bumper not needed now as shop have done a really good job fixing front of car on the jig.bumper only left with a few ripples that i can put up with.bonnet still got the 2 small dents front panel pulled into measurement and really pleased as it all lines up.they had it 2 days and final bill was 350,cheap at half the price.
highly recommend them.the hardest job was straightening the steel bumper bar they said.
they mainly do heavy crash repairs so mine was a doddle for them
thanks rick but still do not drive much.only thing to get is a new mot as the ins co has dropped cover to 3ed party untill i provide them with new mot number.
