So today i came home, had a shower got dressed and jumped in my car to go out, but managed to clip my mothers car (our awsome driveway is on a hill so that if you in your car you cant see behind you )
My rear bumper is F*&%ed!, its only about 10cm dent, im looking for a ocean blue rear bumper for my 09 LV, called up a wrecker and they said that they only have the 2006 ls rear bumper, will this fit my car and is it worth getting?, odds are that they wont have a ocean blue one so ill have to get it resprayed, is it worth getting one from the wreckers or calling up my mates at ford and paying an arm and a leg for a brand new one? |

It will more than likely fit, the central body didn't change, but it will look different.

No good going to the wreakers to buy one cheep only to find it doesn't fit.
I'd be recomending that you do go to Ford cos 1) you know you'll be purchasing the correct one and 2) the price doesn't sound too bad considering my aftermark one cost just under $2k after installing and fitting. Besides Ford need the business...
