Seat Ibiza 2009 1.4 - Black Edition (Replacement front bumper)

[Tomoj93]

Hi fellow Seat drivers!

I come to your forum with an unfortunate story - I hit a deer in my beloved Ibiza, it caused significant damage to a lot of the front but thankfully most of it cosmetic. For the poor deer on the other hand, the damage was not just cosmetic. RIP.

I am trying to decide whether to go through my insurance company to repair the damages (I have a £500 excess) or whether I should try and source the replacement parts myself from breakers yards or ebay etc.

Trouble is, my Ibiza is a special edition, the Black Edition, to be precise. It came with a factory fitted body kit meaning the front bumper which I need to replace is very rare.

I am unable to post links as I'm a new member to your site, otherwise I would show you pictures of the difference between the two models.

Does anyone know where I can find the right bumper? I have been searching all over the internet with no luck. I have been told by some colleagues of mine that if I do go through my insurance, they may deem the bumper too difficult to get hold of and write the whole car off. I've since found an article stating that Seat only ever produced 250 of Black Editions.

Looking forward to hearing any suggestions!

Thanks,

Tom

Tomo post up your chassis number and I will look in to it for you

Hi Tom, pretty sure this is the part number you need, 6J0071060 I have made an assumption that you have no headlight washers. If you google image search it you can confirm that this the correct bumper. Retail price on it on it is £475.

Hi Frenchy thanks for looking into it for me! I have found my chassis number which is VSSZZZ6JZ9R084388 although if you've found the part you may not need it now.

£475 is at least a definitive figure to work with! I was worried that it may not be available.

I will look at the part and with a serial number it may be easier to find second hand too.

Really, really appriciate the help, I'll let you know how I get on!

Tom

Did you ever find the bumper? My black edition has a normal front bumper after being in a crash, looking for a black edition replacement one
