Bumper got partially ripped off this morning

[SPetzer]

This morning on my way to work I was cruising along and the next moment I drove over something. When I looked in my mirror a part of my bumper were flying all over the road.

Any recommendations on where I can get this fixed? Leonard, maybe something for you?

Personally I would reckon it would probably be best to just replace the bumper, shouldn't be too hard to find one those at a scrapyard.

Did you stop to salvage the bit that you had lost?

 

[SPetzer]

No I couldn't. Its in the middle of the R21, not gonna risk it as the road was busy. I'll start looking around for a new one.

I can fix bumpers that are torn/cracked but not with bits missing.

Maybe small bits, but cant fabricate replacement bits, its just too time consuming and you never get it perfect.

Hit gumtree for a sportpack bumper or something.

You could also look for a damaged replacement bumper that still has the bit you need in good condition and cut it from the bumper and use it to fix yours, think something like that should be possible.

+1 There are also lots of clips an expanding rivits that hold it together.
