Crack in bumper - cheapest way to repair/replace?

[nick]

We bought our Micra K12 1.4SE auto with a quite long crack in the bumper and want to get it sorted. I cant do it myself - should I go to Nissan? Scrapyard? What sort of cash are we talking? Do i need to replace the whole bumper or just the 'cover'? Anyone know what part i should look for?


thx!

Personally id check out the scrap yards...should be able to get a one in the same colour and it'll be cheaper than the dealers.

Cheapest if its not causing any probs is just to leave it, but obviously thats not a real solution.

you can drill small holes at the end of the cracks to stop them spreading but if your replacing then its not worth it

Soldering iron to weld the plastic together..filler & paint.Saves dismantling.
if you don't want to do it yourself it Should not be more than £100 at dodgy backstreet paintshops
