Front bumper wanted

Post by Bludge » Mon Jul 08, 2013 8:37 pm

I managed to trash my front bumper today and the only one i could find the same on ebay was £260.

Im a bit gutted, chavvy as it was i kinda liked it on the car, so im looking for something similar if anyone has one? if i cant get anything cheap enough though i guess i will go with stock and try to get the skirts off the car too and bring it back to a stock look.

don't know how much just buy a fibreglass repair kit and give it some reinforcement on the back and use a skim of filler on the front

Real easy repair, reinforce from the back and filler the front, then respray

Or just drill holes and cross stitch with cable ties, drift car style, till you find a replacement
