Morning..

The other half managed to crack and scrape the rear bumper on my 360, it's not a big crack and is pretty low down\almost underneath. Not much detail I know however does anyone have any idea whether small cracks can be fixed or would it require a new bumper? Any idea how much a new bumper is??

Cheers,

M.

It'd cost a few hundred to fix including painting (unless you take it to a dealer, then they'll say you have to cut the back of the car off and buy a new one). I'd guess a new bumper is far more than that.

I've just repaired the front & rear bumpers on a 355 I've bare metalled & if they are anything to go by then a new bumper will be around £2000.00.
Repair is not straightforward (particularly if it's kevlar reinforced - never repaired a 360 one so I can't confirm that).
The ones I've just done had been made MUCH worse by previous poor quality repairs.
Depending how bad the crack is, how much material needs to go back in & how much laminating is involved you should be budgeting anywhere between £300 to £600.
Hope this helps & good luck.
