Hi all,

today i was in the unfortunate position to find out that some ££$% broke the front grill and stole the front camera of my qashqai n-connecta 2018.

I made a quick check and the cost is around 500£+ working hours to replace it in Nissan westay. As i have a 300£ voluntary excess, i am not sure what is more worthwhile pay it and loose my no claim bonus, or try to find a cheaper one. Or try to fix it by myself.

Any suggestions? Can you find somewhere cheaper ones? Is it easy to add them? Not sure if there are any instructionals .

Ill keep searching tomorrow for cheaper quotes but thought to ask first. Thank you in advance

Keeper, first the Std. Welcome to the Forum ! . I must admit I have never seen this problem on the Forum. Normally the Grills are not that difficult to play around with, push fit and screwed. It might be worth chatting your friendly “Nissan” Dealer to see what is involved as the price for the Part is high enough plus the Nissan Labour - have you tried a local Workshop for a quotation.
I found on the web a few contacts (well worth looking for more) which might help you and could be worth giving them a Ring and asking what is around - Best of Luck Dave 🤗

I am not saying these are the correct parts but it gives you some ideas :

Where did this happen approx?

What I remember of the documents for the camera(s) its going to be difficult for anyone to set the camera alignment up. Its quite a long procedure without Nissan specialist tools.

Welcome to this forum - in unfortunate circumstances.

I'd have thought you might be able to source a secondhand one and fit it yourself them potentially have to get Nissan to align it.
