Default Front Fog Smashed

Hiya all, just noticed one of my front fogs has played chicken with a stone and lost.

Is this a DIY jobby ?

Any ideas on cost ?

Cheers.

Pretty sure it's a DIY and cost around the £40 mark.

Shame that it didn't happen a couple of months ago, on the trip to Prgaue we stumbled on the national Skoda meet where you could get all sorts of Skoda 'jumble'. Jason (Devonutopia) bought a replacement fog light for his which iirc cost him the princely sum of just £5

About £52 with the VAT and it's a bumper-off job to fit, unless you have arms made of rubber...

That's a fantastic price but did he realise it's for a" Left Hand Drive Fabia ".....

JUst washed my vRS and found the driver's side foglight cracked thought the light still works.

Funny how the owner's manual mentions which bulb to use in the front fog lights but doesn't advise on how to change it if it blows. "Dealer only" job is it?

Normally a bumper off job which isn't hard - if you know how!!

Don't think its a a bumper off job; I have just had my R/H front fog light changed (in a vRS bumper) and my Skoda dealer charged me for only 15 mins work.

I got the fog light on e-bay (genuine part) on a buy-it-now for £26 - about half price.
