Isn't really funny though is it?

People aim digs at me for driving "that thing" but they all had the same response when they saw those pictures... of utter disbelieve etc. Doesn't matter what car it is its simply not right is it?

Is there anyway you could proove its your bumper? like any mark or scuff on it you could say about off the top of your head and a photo of it for example?

If so I'd contact the police, and explain and show them a picture of said mark of bumper on your car then go and view the bumper and match it up.

If it helps at all, here are a couple of photos of other Fiesta ST bumpers the chap has sold, for which the buyers didn't leave feedback:

Arrange cash on collection and show up with some 'friends'?

I am available as a friend, for a nominal fee. - And that would be free for tossbags such as these!

But if you have a photo of that showing it on your car and can match it up to the one for sale. Sorted

Its a bit odd that he keeps car spares in his bedroom too.....

Janesy B · 1 Jan 2011 at 16:41

Is he selling only front bumpers?

DM · 1 Jan 2011 at 16:45

Not looking good in what way, how sure are you its your bumper he's selling?

You want the answer he will give plod or the real answer ?

Answer one is officer i buy these legitimate and here is my receipt.

Answer 2 is because he is a little **** bag, but you need to know he is "your" little **** bag before you go dragging him out of his mums house by the hair.

Very tricky one.

Overlag, personally I would suggest contacting the seller (with a throwaway email/website account) asking for photos of the actual bumper under the pretence of inspecting the condition.

Their account (looks like a couple's shared account by the range of items purchased/sold) was used to buy accessories for a Canon EOS 400D, so I expect they'll be all too happy to whip that out and send some high quality photos your way.

If you can muster a reasonable-sounding excuse, ask for close-ups of any scuffs or the clips; I'm guessing the latter in particular would be an immediate giveaway as to whether its yours or not

I agree, from a read through this sounds very tricky. I had a similar situation with a stolen phone appearing on ebay.

Possibly using the excuse that you are either looking to respray the front bumper when you get your bonnet done or maybe that you are about sell the car and somebody has reversed into your car and damaged the bumper, so replacing it is your only option, but you have to see the scuffs on it to see whether it will affect resell? I'm sure people can think up alternative excuses?

yeh i made a cover story saying i crashed in the snow, and need a new front bumper etc had someone else email him.

I used "mangobreeders" (my brother in law) account to email the guy who just brought a bumper from him and his reply:

Hi there,
bumper was complete nothing missing! It had one small scratch which polished out. We were really pleased with it. We wanted to collect the bumper, but he said that he was visiting a relative in the area so delivered it. We didnt pay him for delivery though ! He was a bit difficult to get hold of on the phone and to be honest not the brightest bulb in the box, but the bumper was fine, so cant complain.
Good luck with it!

hmmmmm interesting. wouldn't let them meet at his place, and not the brightest of blokes...
