Someone reversed into me!!!

[Mr Occo]

Hi Guys, some very nice gentlemen who polity reversed into me today and decided that I got a good look at his number hence he did not have to stop and apologize, left me with a bumper that now sticks out. The cosmetic scratches I can fix on the back but what is worrying is the piece in the picture. Can one DIY this or must I take it to a panel shop?
Thanks guys

that's just wrong, I hate idiots like that.

Their is a clip that holds that corner in place. AFAIK, they can be purchased from the agents.

Good luck!

At worst, you maybe damaged a bumper slide.

Have you tried just pushing it back in ?

Tried but don't want to push too hard, must I take off the bumper and try slide it in?

did you see this happen? i would have chased the faker...

did you see this happen? i would have chased the faker...

I did, I got out the car, I was calm as these things do happen. I think when he saw me he got a bit scared, 124 kilo 6 foot oke. I really was calm.................ish. He then sped off, did not see his number plate but was a silver Audi a4. I had an important meeting to get to. In the end it is superficial damage.

I just need to know if I can fix it or I must take it to a panel shop...

Mate, seeing as that it is plastics clips that hold it in place, my advice to you would be to remove the bumper and refit it (slide) in place. My experience with plastic cosmetic clips being pushed a little too hard are normally disastrous! Sorry for the damage mate, but rather take your time and do it properly than just try and blindly push it back. If you have the means, take it to a panel shop is first prize, however if you have the knowledge, give it a go yourself.

:nonono::nonono::nonono: sorry again!!

guy like that drives over people and doesn't stop either, give his details to the cops to go sort him out!

fak that i would have followed him taken down his plates for insurance... i would probably have followed him till he decided i was not going away then had a nice discussion with him...

That is so annoying! Hopefully it has just clipped out and not broken anything! :thumbs:

 

[STupendous]

Damn bud!! Eish...not nice.... hope you can repair yours ...
I have a piece like that where the inside clip is broken....it works on my nerves seeing it like that!!

I am looking to replace my front & rear bumpers tho...

a guy nearly reversed into my wife in Randburg this last Sunday (in an e46) asshole looked at me as if I was in the wrong when I shouted at him.

They should at least have the decency to leave a note to say sorry.
