hitting someone up bum. bumper damage.. info?

[tonyppe]

i had a little knock, and its pushed bumper back a little bit. about half inch, or 1-2 cms i think..
i went to see my body shop bloke he has asked me to find out what sort of bumper it is.
so, is it the sort that has 'shock' type. where once its back it wont return and a new bumper is needed
or
is it the sort that can be easily sorted? and moved back to where it should be?
im hoping the 2nd one....

Mine has pushed back about 2 inches I am thinking attach rope to car and tree to repair? Shock type or no shock type

me and my mate did that to his astra and a lamp post. you should of seen the lamp post afterwards
the car sold for more than he bought it for afterwards, well chuffed

i cant do that to mine, its all plastic.
anyone know?

if its an e30 a 2nd hand bumper is cheap and easy ish to change!


I smashed my micra and used a chain and a steel girder to pull it out again! (me and my dad pushing it full force away from the girder!)

SOld that for more than i bought it for too!

[tonyppe]

well, mint apart from the hairline cracks i put in it, but he will sort it he says

(there is always- Mint...apart from..... aint there lol)

The bumper damage is simple it's the stuff behind that costs. If your bumper is in one piece (mainly) and isn't missing bits it can be repaired. I used to so smart repair and it is quite simple normally to sort out some scuffs and cracks.

I thought you meant the front of the car itself sorry

The bumper "shocker" type mount should be changed if it's been pushed in, but you should be able to get one for peanuts at a scrapyard or on here. Completely seperate item from the bumper.
