Damage to rear bumper, need help

[Ra]

Hi guys, Some lady rear ended me the other day (no not in that way ;-) And damaged the plastic part of my rear bumper as circled in the photo below. The number plate light was also damaged and no longer works. Can someone please advise me on how much this is worth to replace as i want to ask her insurance company for a cheque.

Thanks in advanced.

would easiest to either
go to jeep dealer (spare parts) and ask
go get a quote from a smash repairer
least that way you're accurate in price

or tell her the rear bar is completely buggered & you need to get a new Warn bar ;) :D

Ra,

Got with what TW said - there's plenty of people who have upgraded their rear bumpers and have those rubber bits (along with the rest of the bumper) in their shed etc...i know I do....
Anywasy TW is local to you so it's a no-brainer.

Thanx for your help guys..

What im really trying to do.. is get a cheque from her insurance company... pissing off the plastic bits (Lexx's advice) and using the cash on some coopers! ;-) YEEEEERRR MAAAAN!!!

So a rough figure is what i need... im taking her down to local Jeep service centre to get a quote.

cheers again guys..

ra, call or e-mail me & i'll prep a big fat quote for your ins cun-pany.

Oh THAT plastic bumper thing....Well THAT plastic bumper thing can only be replaced with an entire replacement bumper....they're fully integrated and nonserviceable part so you'll be looking at some major $$ to get THAT fixed.....
Ummm I think it might also be a requirement to replace the spare tyre carrier too.... ;)
