Help Need New front Bumper

So its been very stormy lately here in seattle which causes lots of branches in the road way. Well to my great luck i hit one with the coop and now am in need of replacing the front bumper. I cant seem to find one online.

My other problem is my insurance deductible is 500$ so would it be cheaper to just buy one and get it painted to match cause i can deffinately install it.

Just would like to go the cheapest route as we all would.

any input greatly appreciated!

Or if anyone has a spare front bumper in BRG =D let me know

Hey there Silver253;

What year and Model is your Mini?? I have seen lots of front bumpers kicking around for sale, here and online. The front bumpers seem to sell for around $150. So one would think it would be cheaper to find one, have it painted and install it yourself. No sense spending more money on the deductible and having to make an insurance claim, which results in higher premiums.

If you post the details on your Mini I will definitely keep my eyes open for you.

Regards

Dibz

Definetly just find one locally, the size of a bumper will make the shipping a deal breaker. Call around your local body shops and have them price you one painted and you'll prob find one.
