one of my co-workers hit my uncle's FD at work
The front bumper is fiberglass, anyone could give an estimate of how much will it be to get it fix?

i would estimate 1200 for repairing the bumper, fender, and repaint. but to do the job 100% correctly the hood,headlight cover, and driverside door should be blended as well so the white matches the rest of the car better that may cost around $1700

Cheap way to get it done.

Front Bumper: $100-$150,
Fender: $50-$100

Paint...$300-$500

Possibly get it done under $500.00 easily...

Bodywork is always a touchy subject. You get what you pay for.
I put on a new front bumper and hood on my ls1 camaro, and had it blended to the passenger side door, and drivers side fender, and they painted the underside of the hood as well. Came out to around 2k if i remember correctly. Still looks amazing though. That was for a simple red color, no metallic or anything.

wish my uncle had an fd.. lol

Do it yourself repair on the bumper.. Pick up some fiberglass mat and resin.. even cheap stuff from an auto parts store or even home depot will do, than some body filler on the outside once its fiberglassed together.. like Rage Gold or so. materials under $70 to do it yourself. THen you would need new fender and paint.

Just write a rough estimate for it in CCC Pathways. I got $2082 for exterior damages. Your going to replace the bumper cover, blend hood, replace fender, blend door. Any damages inside that bumper & fender will be additional.

replacing is usually more cost effective. shops want to repair so they can make money on the labor hours.
