Two things happened recently to my beloved, firstly I hit a sone on the motorway that shipped the lower part of the bumper, and today someone reversed into me and took paint off the upper part of the bumper - they kindly drove off before I saw this.

So I wanted to ask those with experience what to do - does Lotus supply these parts, it this likely to be overpriced, are there any Lotus bodywork specialists?

Thanks

Mark

PS I am based in Scotland but will travel to get this sorted!

the lotus parts are expensive.. cheapest price i got was ~$1700 (US) for upper and lower halves. You can get fiberglass replicas from SJ for significantly less but they are fragile and will smash with even minor impact. I have the complete bumper from SJ and the pieces themselves are well built, fit perfectly and dont require much prep work... but I have to remember to drive extra careful at all times.
