Default Help/Info

Guys had a mind melt moment tonight and had the car sitting at the house with the handbrake off by mistake. Long story short it rolled forward at slow speed and struck a low wall (Height splitter roughly).

The impact has popped the bumper from the wing on the drivers side and removed the splitter. Its dark but I cannot align the bumper to the wing as its sitting 25mm forward.

Does anyone have a how to remove the bumper guide?

If I require a front bumper where is the best place to get one? "Hawkeye"

Thanks for any help... At least no one hurt other than my pride.

Cheers

Hi no problem , it may be the right clip then , i’m sure if not, there is something there to help , it may just need a bit of bending and heat and a tweek and possibly fit back on , the sooner you take the pressure off the bumper the better

Thanks for this clip. Managed to remove the bumper tonight. Don't see any damage so fingers crossed for paint and replacement splitter.

Does anyone know of a good coachworks in Scotland, Glasgow/Edinburgh area. Willing to travel to get a good job, I heard Stuart Roden motors were good? Any recommendations appreciated.
