Replacing front likely cost

Post by willpom »

Hi

If I was to get hold of an entire front from 1/2 way down windscreen pillar what is likely cost to replace; just metal work or with me removing and refitting dash/radiator as needed?

Is a whole replacement more cost efficient than repairing leaky windscreen rust and lower panel above bumper?

Thanks to those in the know!

My slightly educated guess is that it would need to be v bad to cut out the whole thing.

and finding a mint cut pretty impossible so to repair yours easier and cheaper even done mm style I reckon, full new front panel was about £800 genuine that would be nice 8)
