how much could that cost at a pannel beater ( i am also sending a pic to the missues brother as he is a painter)
i have also already reported it to the police, so that i can go through insurace with the claim no... and am just waiting till thier office opens to call them and see if i can sort it out without going to insurance

cheers guys

Depends on the job you want done on the guard.

Considering how it already has a fair amount of bog in it already, it will cost bugger all at a panel beaters.

All they will do is sand back and add more bog. Personally i would be checking wreckers for a straight guard (take a magnet to check for bog) and bolting that on...and it will need paint..... ;) and hit the taxi co up for the costs.

Do you have a bullbar on your ute

Call Toyota, get a price on a new one, get the taxi company or insurance to buy that for you.

no i dont have a bull bar, i accidentally tore it off, and in the process i popped all the captive nuts, so i am waiting untill i can aford my mig welder and then will ad some plates to the inside and maky my own bar.

the wreckers said 225 for the part that goes over the tyre, so its not to bad, and like i said my missues brother works in a pannel shop so paint and all that isnt a problem.

i want to replace the pannel as i hate bog!!!!!!
