Good evening Ladies and Gentleman.....not posted on here for a long time...like to think I was one of the originals back in the day...!!.now the question ...had a wee bump to the front bumper of my MK 2 R,.S...its pretty badly damaged...but looks easy to replace...looking on Google ...looking at £600.00 for the panel including the mesh...does any fellow members know any company rather than Ford that produce this part...Thanks in advance...!!

If it's the front grill you are referring to I don't think any company has replicated the the actual grill surround the black plastic part, zensport do a replacement mesh but I've only seen the grill surround replicated in carbon which is more expensive than the standard ford item.
These have been steadily rising in price, my advice bite the bullet and buy one from Ford A before they go obsolete and B before they rise even more in cost :nice:

Also, If the mesh is salavgeable then keep that! It's impossible to source it on it's own, in case yours ever gets damaged
Thanks for all your advice...on this....nice to know the Club....is still as good as ever...!!...one big happy "Blue Oval" :thumbsup: ..family...
How bad is the damage any pics? If its the mouthpiece gloss black bit as previous said £600 min for a new one. If its the bumper too then your looking at £1000. I had to have both as my mouthpiece was damaged by debris but also split my bumper?
Be lucky to get a new bumper, I needed one a while back, my car was almost a write off due to bumpers being on back order, I had to get the insurance to pay out and find my own bumper, after months of waiting for a new one from ford
Front bumpers are available next day at the moment, I checked earlier but like anything else they have risen in price.
My body shop sourced my front bumper with a week but I know some have had problems getting hold of one?
To me at trade when I enquired about a front bumper today the cost came out at a bit of a devilish figure, £666.42p inclusive of the vodka and tonic
Think it was about £1000 and painted the grille was about £570 so not cheap!!
i presume the £666 is just for a bare bumper skin and not the complete thing with all grilles etc
i presumed so,its when you start adding all the extra parts to make it complete when the price goes through the roof :facepalm:
Hell fire
Is £1000 the total price for a painted new bumper? Or £1000 just for the bumper......then you have to add the cost of the painting on top? :blink:
@biggles933
Bare bumper skin £666
Front grill £550-£600
Fog lamp surrounds £??
Head lamp trims £100 each
Paint and Labour
Total amount you'd be looking close to £1500.00

It's high prices like this that will make the Mk2 so appealing to organised criminals. A LOT of money to be made now breaking a stolen Mk2 RS. Time to take stock of your security folks.
That was for painting too but not including mouth pieceHell fire
Don't forget the headlamp washer covers (x2) and towing eye cover, they're approximately £60 each and £40 respectively, unpainted of course... Plus new fog lamps (if needed), I'm sure they're £80 ish each the last time I was browsing on eBay... 😬
Fog lamps can be had for 20 quid a pair on eBay, many different cars use the same part number. The ones I bought a few years back were for a fiat iirc
