Any one recommend a bodywork person in the Trowbridge/bath/west country/anywhere that can fix this?

Personal recommendations preferred.

That doesn’t look too bad really, I would be looking for a boat yard as that looks to be fibre glass body parts with possibly gel coat on top.
Not saying a body shop won’t be able to fix it but I’d check boat yards first.

Nice bit of welding work there!

Don't ask how I know, but you can guess! 🤣

Not funny but LV have stated that most of their Campervan and Motorhome claims are drivers reversing into posts,fences, bollards etc. only 3% of claims are thefts of vehicles. Probably explains why they are now not taking new vehicles on. 🥴

Right pain to do too, no replacement available so needs must lol.
Took me back to my youth, rattle cans and a bit filler
I didn't even bother asking about availablity.

Split the end cap diagonally bottom left to top right, pulled the bumper off.

Wasn't the first time it had been off either!

If it's got boobs or wheels it is going to be expensive in some way. :p
As men get older and fatter (usually) they tend to grow their own boobs so not just restricted to womenfolk! :LOL:
