R36 Front Grill Crunched

[GTI147]

Hi guys,

Need a little help as have damaged my front aluminium grill. Not major enough to crack but enough to create a ripple in the aluminium and have spoken to the Panel Beaters. To get this replaced it'll basically cost around $1200.00 and my first thought was F... Me! If it was any other car brand the cost would've been 1/3 and easier to replace. (I've got pics but not sure how to upload as don't post/upload regularly??).

I'm thinking as a last resort to claim on my insurance and have it all fixed up but any ideas at a cheaper cost?

Thanks,
Raymond

You could try and find a second hand one, but yeah new they're over $1100.

The material they're made of, well the silver stuff anyway, is quite unique, hence the price.

I've done the same thing to mine did you claim on insurance in the end?

Just get it painted silver or colour coded shouldn't cost too much and look good

Does anyone know the colour code for the silver in the r36 grill? Thanks heaps
