Hi All,
i hope some of yous can help me, my escort has a broken front bumper, i have tried nearly every car dismantler to try and find a coulor coded one in panther black but no joy,
After speaking to a sprayer to get quotes on spraying a new bumper he told me to buy an insurance approved pattern bumper as they fit nearly as good as an original, what i would like to know is does any one know any companys that do insurance approved parts. any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
escortgti

I would have thought your "sprayer" would have contacts in his trade;alternatively,why can't he spray a different coloured one from a breaker?
|
My experience of trying to find parts for the front end of relatively new Fords from breakers is that they just don't have them.
The reason is that very few of these cars have been scrapped due to corrosion. If acident damaged then front end rather than rear end damage is much more likely. Hence no useable front end parts.
In my case it was a '99 Fiesta headlamp that I sought.

There's several people selling sprayed pattern Ford bumpers on Ebay.
Another apparently good source of these items is:

thanks for all your replies, my sprayer could of sprayed a different couloured one but he was going to charge me £200 but he said he could spray a primed one for £80 which i thought was a good price.
thanks for the link galaxy that sites really helpful, they will supply and spray for £94 i think i might just go for that.
Regards,
