I've dinked my car
« on: 10 April 2004, 20:04 »
I can't believe I did this yesterday, absolutely gutted :'(





Looking for suggestions as to what I should do? I was going to try taking the bumper off and straightening it out as best I can, but I suspect I'm going to need a new bumper. Are these just ordinary bumpers that are sprayed up or are they specially to order colour coded? If so, where do I get a replacement :'(

Take the bumper off, there,s probably a metal beam behind the plastic, if you remove the bumper from the metal it may be ok, then its a matter of straightening the metalwork or replacing it, I think. failing that I,ve got a clipper kit to fit to my cab some time in the future, and its got the same bumpers as yours at the moment, wont be for a while though.
