I bought my 2017 Lexus CT200h Sports plus 1 week ago from Lexus Leeds, and today i have found that someone has smacked into the nearside front corner and caused some not insignificant damage!
The top rabiator grill is snapped/cracked down the right hand side
The bumper/valance is scuffed scratched and cracked and hanging off at the wheel arch by about 1 inch! there is pressure indentation on the front where the bumper has been pushed against the fixings on the back side of the bumper.
I took out the smart insurance to cover minor scratches and dents, but thr dealer says that wont cover it as it is over 12 inches of damage!
So no I am left to foot the bill for repair on a 2 month old Lexus! I am gutted as this is my first foray into a more discerning/luxury vehicle.
It looks like i need the complete front bumper replacing and the top radiator/grill section.
Does anyone know of approximate prices for these parts and if I can fit them myself, or if I need to shell out to a dealer to fit them?
Thanks

Does anyone know if it is a straightforward job to replace the standard (Horizontal ribs), top and bottom Radiator Grills for the nicer looking Diamond Hatching Grill, (I think it is the one used on the F-Sport Model)
I just think this looks so much nicer, is it just a case or replacement grills or do I need a complete new bumper as well?
Many thanks for any feedback.
