Default Estimated Cost of Repair

I was in an accident.

Pic is attached showing the damage.

Head light is safe thankfully, but there is dent in the front of the bonnet.

I am in Adelaide, and work in city, will love to get any crash repair workshop recommendations which are near to my work place.

Go to a few wreckers and try find one? Would think it would be a fairly common item

Bumper, bonnet, bonnet garnish, headlight, maybe even the grill if the supports were cracked.

You're looking at a couple of grand if new OEM parts are used. No one will repair any of those parts, they will quote replacement.

it doesn't take much to rack up a couple of grand damage , dont be surprised if its a bit more than it looks.

Being a white BFII, find who your local Taxi companies use for replacement panels.

Shop around wreckers as well, worth a try.
