Title: Arghhhh, now someone's reversed into my Scorp!!
Post by cookie_boy2000 on Feb 16^th, 2005, 7:00pm

I don't believe my luck. After one of the worse days at work ever, I go to the car park to find someone has reversed into my pride & joy and cracked the front bumper, resulting in a severe loss of paint, bumper and the drivers side lampwasher cover. BTW, the crack runs from the middle of the grill right across to the headlamp

Any idea how much I can expect to pay for another bumper??

It's an S reg new spec Ultima 2.3 in metallic blue.

It just ain't my week (make that eon!)

Try Ebay, you could build a scorp with the parts advertised on there! ;)

Thanks for the suggestion but already looked. The biggest kick in the teeth is that next Friday i'm meant to be chauffeur for my niece's wedding - she likes my car that much. Somehow I don't think she will like my driving her to her wedding with the bumper all broken!

Sorry to hear about your problem M8.

Are you near to Kent area ? I know of someone there who may be able to help.

Thanks, I live in Peterborough but if it's the right type/colour then it would be worth the journey, Have you anymore details - price, colour, condition, facelift version etc etc?

thanks

Hmm... if not, I'm in Kent. And if there's a nice facelift bumper up for grabs, I might just be interested ::)

Paul B, how could you?

Let me have first refusal on it, i'll make the journey if it's the right one! Gotta be cheaper than buying a new one getting it sprayed etc etc all before next Friday :0

Sorry mate.
Don't mean to tread on your toes. You can, of course, have first dibs.
As I said, if you don't have it or want to travel....

If you need a replacement car for the day, mine is available. I would have to drive of course but you could sit in the back and watch the TVs with the bride and groom!!

I am quite taken with this one, probably cos the reg number ending matches ours ;D

Not sure what they mean by high mileage, could be anywhere upwards of 100k I guess so maybe too much but here it is anyway....

Hi Baz - This car has been around a while - I have spoken to the owner - lives in France

He originally said he would not let it go for anything under GBP 3000
