Looking for some help. I was rear ended yesterday while stationery at traffic lights. The perpetrator promptly sped away narrowly avoiding a head on collision with oncoming traffic, over took the 20 or so cars in front of me and jumped the red light. It’s safe to assume from said actions that the driver was uninsured, drunk, the car stolen or all three! Sadly no dash cam and didn’t manage to get the registration number and nor did the car behind or in front.

So long story short I’m not expecting to have any insurance to claim against. Luckily I had the tow ball fitted which saved more extensive damage (small comfort that it would have made a mess of his/her front end) but the rear bumper is cracked.

As I don’t have protected no claims I’m asking if anyone in the community has had rear bumper replaced recently and at what cost so I can make a judgement on whether to claim and lose my NCB or suck it up and pay for a replacement.

Thanks in advance

From LLL Parts the Bumper is from £ 350 but will need painting.

Thanks, that’s helpful. If you can help me find the b*****d that hit me and drove off I’d be very grateful!
