Pranged my beloved C70 T5 - suggestions!?

**T5 newbie** · Sunday 26th March 2006, 21:13

Just had a minor crash, my nearside headlight is smashed and front bumber is scraped to ££££ with no numberplate left...looks like it'll cost 500+ at a volvo dealer.

please can anyone suggest a cheapish way or a decent and understanding dealer/volvo specialist in the southwest (plymouth). i cant bare my newlt acquired pride and joy to look like it does now!!

cheers guys

Hi Sorry to hear of your scrape, I might have a standard headlight for sale later this week if it is any help?

regards Gary.

hi mate, having your new t5 damaged is a sickner , been there myself.
will have a average nick black bumper for sale shortly if you get stuck finding one in A1 condition.

I hope this doesn't sound to obvious but why are you not going through insurance.
