The repeir on the bumper would be prety straight forward!! if sumeone cherges you more than £70 to repair that then their robing you!!!

The other aulternative is to repair it yourself????? If you can get your hands on some fiberglass, resin & catalyst (probably cost you about £10 - £15) tape the bumper up so the cracks are shut (tape over the cracks aswell) remove the bumper and wet out some Fiber glass over the cracks ( probably need 2 - 3 layers, let it set then filler on the outside and sand to shape!!!
