    Hello I'm looking for a front bumper for a 2004 ford focus. The colour is silver.

    I have tried various dismantlers but no good mainly from partfinder.ie & some local ones in Clare.

    To get a new one of these is mad money.

    Let me know if anyone might have one of these?

    Thanks

    also try a motorfactors for a spurious one.
    a got one before for around €100.
    would need to be sprayed though.
    how bad is your old one?

    Spurious plastic bumpers tend to be brittle in my experience and crack easily.

    Don't hit anything and it will be fine;)

    problem is , the first bit to get damaged is always the front bumper so you may have to buy new.

    then the person that hits your car is responsible

    I meant someone that taps off your car and drives off, it happens a lot you know.

    A genuine bumper can deal with these dings no bother but some of the spurious ones will crack so easily the bumper may as well be made out of chocolate.

    i put one on a car 5 years ago and it's still perfect.
    maybe i'm just lucky.
    op will just have to go to a main dealer so and pay the full whack because good front bumpers in breakers yards are like hens teeth.
