Right Side Front Bumper

DatNewNew · August 22nd, 2010, 12:42 AM

So I was leaving work last night and it had rained all day. As I was puling out of the parking lot and didn't notice a curb and i had took a right turn, and accidentally slammed my right side front bumper on the curb.

When i had gotten home i had notice it had chip a little bit of the paint off and the right side bumper is slightly dangling off.

I was wondering if this would be an easy fix? Would it be expensive?

I was also thinking about just getting a completely new front bumper cause this one has always felt kinda look since i bought it.

What do you guys think i should come about this problem?

I am taking it to the shop tomorrow to have them take a look at it.

More than likely the whole bumper will need to be repainted. That's pretty pricey. As far as it dangling, it's probably pretty busted up since I'm pretty sure it bolts on at the sides. In my opinion, take it in and see what they want to fix it. Then see what it would cost to get a new bumper, paint it, and install it. Then you can figure out from there which route you want to go with.

if you get a new bumper, get a cobra one. And as far as the bumper being repariable, im not exactly sure you can bondo dangling pieces back together lol.

use fiberglass to hold all the pieces together from the inside, then use bondo to fill in any cracks. Sand it down then paint it.

Fiberglassing is pretty easy, look for tutorials online
