Bugger!! :( (PARTS REQUIRED!!)

[Colvette]

For the first time in the last 8 years, I managed to damage my car last night.

For some reason I lost concentration as I was pulling out of my garage, turned too quick (it's tight to get out), and caught the passenger side nose of the car on the garage door pillar.

The car itself is fine, but the corner of the nosecone has a small area of isolated damage, but as the bumper is plastic, it means replacing the whole thing...

So, simple question - does anyone have one spare? Or perhaps know where I can buy one?

Or even better - does anyone know a european bodykit supplier that does something a bit different for the bumper so I can turn this very unfortunate incident to my advantage?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Col - If you've had it 8 years then obviously yours isn't a C5. Others on this forum may know your car but I don't, is it a C4?
If so, may be able to help.

Ahem - think you kinda took my statement the wrong way. I haven't had any kind of accident in 8 years, not owned the car for 8 years!

My car is a 2000 manual C5. This is my third vette. I do know the difference between the models, really...

Truly sorry Col, probably it's just me, must've read that sentence the wrong way.

Hey, no problem - probably my crappy grammar!

If it's torn then why not have it repair (plastic welding is realy good these days).
