Hey guys, I'm a Soarer newbie and require help/advice on my damaged front bumper. Here are some pictures of what my Soarer looks like after my silly accident on Sunday morning (knocked a wall)

Based on the pictures shown, is it possible to patch it up? Or would I be required to replace my front bumper. Also, could someone direct me to a few possible places I could get my car fixed at in Sydney? How much will it roughly cost to get this fixed or replaced?

Thank you in advance to all the Soarer gurus here for all your help and advice

"knocked" a wall?

Looks like a replacement job mate.

You can always get a second hand front bumper for around $300 and get it painted and fitted.

Thanks for the advice guys. Does anyone know where I could get a second hand front bumper in Sydney? Any recommended wreckers? Are body repair shops/panels able to replace it for me?

Terribly sorry for so many questions. I'm new at this.

Good luck finding a 1994 front bar to match your lights. A 91 bar will not take your lights AFAIK and the 91 lights shine sideways so they are no real use as fog lights so you will need some electrical work if you downgrade. I think a WTB '94 front bar' ad on here is your best bet and take the first one that gets offered to you.

just be causes when buying second hand bumpers, not all, but some may have been cracked and then touched up. Also why not go a vertex style kit instead? they cost around the same and they look tough, mind you it would look silly if you didn't buy the sides and rear. good luck

Neither are in Sydney as requested, but yes I'm surprised there are two for sale at the moment and in my opinion Jason would be stupid to not buy one of them.

Thanks a lot for all the responses so far, I'm currently asking Duy Le about his front bumper that he mentioned in his post above.

I will sell you mine in Newcastle for $100 and it has a lip on it. I think I paid around that just to get the lip. It will need painting as the nuckleheads that changed it when the bodykit was fitted just dragged it around the workshop.
