I'm afraid if the Vento front comes off then it'll either be going into storage or it will be passed on to my dad.

The 'early' grill alone is worth 50 quid, local scrappy charges 50 quid for a bonnet, and the headlights must be worth 20 each.

It's becoming a common mod at the moment, so if they accidentally smash their cars up, there's going to be less Vento fronts about, which means they'll be worth more money in the future :wink:

Do it yourself, I would

Tub of filler - fiver
Couple of cans of primer from Halfords - 14 quid

Then either get it sprayed by a bodyshop or have a crack at it yourself like I plan to
