Thats £400 - £600 damage to the Omega Tunnie, esp at a dealer....

Maybe at a dealer....

I carnt tell if the bumper is split or just cracked paint  :-/

But even if split bumper £200 tops at bodyshop to heat weld it back together and respray
 :y

The bodyshop i use has quoted me £160 to heat weld my front bumber (thats in a worse state than Tunnies pics) straighten out the iron behind it and respray it. (The damage towing balls do  >:( )
Having seen it, the bumper is creased, so will probably need replacement...

Even if creased wont need replacing......if you goto a decent bodyshop......one of my vx's was reversed into a post at a bit of speed.....so it even dented the tailgate.....now that bumper was creased! it had a V shape at point of impact.....bodyshop didnt replace it.....its amazing what they can do with heat welding  :y

If you keep your finger over the split on the bumper as per the pic tunnie no one will ever know you had a bump and no repair will be needed, just a tip for you  ;) ;D :y
