Mk1 cabby fully smoothed front bumper. Whats it worth?

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, mods pls move if its wrong.

As above, i have a mk1 cabby front bumper that has been fully smoothed ie, the indicator holes deleted.

Im after some figures of what it may be worth as im now taking a different route with the mk1, so it is surplus to requirement and can help fund the new mods.

cheers all

Sounds like twenty quid to me but really you'd have to put a pic up and if someone wants it, it'll make big money, if not, it won't.  Ebay maybe?

yeah the clipper style bumper.

I'll get some pics up, as you say it is only going to be worth what peeps are willing to pay.

thanks for replies.

Where does the front number plate mount, on a clipper?

its normally on a plinth.

what colour is it mate and do you have a pic?

Put some pics up dude, i mite be interested if it looks good and its a proper job.

Should have pics up by the weekend peeps.

It is is primer ready for a final topcoat, so whatever colour you want it to be.

It has been done properly, reinforced with mesh then fiberglass to bring up to level then filler on top to smooth finish.

I mounted the plate on the chin spoiler to leave the smooth look on the bumper.

thanks for replies interest.

Hmm, I was hoping it was plastic welded, fibreglass and filler are a no no for me when it comes to bumpers as they tend to crack, sink or fall out.

Please bear in mind that filler/fibreglass only sinks when people rush the job and get it painted too quick. If done properly as this has been, it was left to cure, any sinkage dealt with, then left to cure.

You get the picture.

This bumper has been ready for paint now for over a year and i can assure you the sinkage has been dealt with. I can only tell you what has been done, but if in your mind this isnt the way it should be done then i will not try to change to mind.

I will still get some pics up, for you too see.
