Was driving along a rough terrain and front wheel dipped into a ditch and the front bumper was caught tearing a big chunk out of it :cry: :cry:

 

below are pics of the damage my question is can it be repaired easily?? and if so does anyone know of anyone in the south-east that can do it.

Looks like your bumpers fibreglass if so its quite easy to repair , especially if you,ve got the bit that was ripped off.

Using glass cloth and resin to bond /reinforce the area thats been damaged, doing most of the glassing from the back of the bumper to build up the strength then sanding the paint off around the damage to reveal the fibreglass put a thin layer of glass over the cracks , let that cure and sand back to remove any high spots,

Fill as needed remembering to key any shiny glass as the filler wont stick then prime and paint, Hey presto one complete bumper again.

Sounds tricky but it isn,t really , All the stuff needed is readily available from motorfactors HTH. :D

Cheers allan

Hi ya im from sittingbourne, was looking for someone to repair it, as im not really a hands on man would appreciate if you know someone who could repair it.

 

Cheers

depends how bad it is really, do you have the missing piece & does it fit back in the gap ok?!?

 

im in Canterbury BTW

hi,

yeah i have the missing bit and it does fit reasonably well as was travelling about 2 mph, Canterburys not too far about 30mins max.
