If it was mine , it would have to be a new bumper  :cool:

It seems that a lot of new bumpers are not a 100% perfect fit. So a new drama could easily ensue!
Trying to avoid this whilst still trying to get the bumper fixed. :rolleyes:

Well from my recent experience and from what Petra has told me, it can never be as good as the factory fit. They use a special machine to hold the whole bumper when fitting it so that it does not twist.

My gaps do not match each other with the front wings. Close, but not as before. It's going back on Friday for another tweak. :rolleyes:

Am1w You need a new bumper as trying to repair that the way it flexes will probably never be right.

I am going to leave it to them. I've had it with my bumpers. First the front, now the rear and the front. Whatever next. :sick:

I do keep thinking of adding a black transfer in that bit behind the number plate.
