    Is this wing dead? Body shops in Belgium?

    I thought it was time to take a look at 'those bubbles' on my front wings... Starting to wish I hadn't. Uncovering a previous repair job that looks to have not stopped the rust in the past. The bit that is concerning me the most is where the bumber is supposed to be attached to the wing - it is completely missing...



    Anyhow, it is too big a job for me (I've no idea about welding etc).. So - any good bodyshops in Begium anyone can recommend?

    Cheers

    Mine are both the same. I drilled some holes and cable tied the bumper in place . As for fixing it, a bodyshop quoted me £500 for de-rust and full front respray (wings, bonnet, bumper). HTH

      When you do get it sorted, before refitting the bumper run a nice fat bead of polyurethane adhesive where the bumper rubs the wing.
      Let this dry before refitting the bumper.
      This prevents a repeat of the problem.

        Thanks for the advice - I'll have the bumper off at the weekend and take a better look. Maybe there is still enough metal left to reattach the bumper properly (as long as the missus doesn't have some errands for me.... )
