Ahhhhhhh! first damage
Had my first bit of damage today. crappy pavement/edge of road. mangling my mudflap bracket and pulling away the back bumper on one side. my cars not even got huge flaps and its not lowered!!
anyway having been absolutely p#ssed off im now seeking a screw and plug bit that holds top of bumper on looks a bit like this knackered one....
anyone have one lying around spare? or one to sell for a couple a bob?

Been there, done that.
The clips that hold the bumper up are ****, i went down B&Q and got my self a 30mm by 5mm bolt, a couple of big washers 30mm-ish with 5mm hole and a 5mm lock nut.
Nut - Washer - Bumper - Wing - Washer - Nut.
the reason for such a big washer is to hold it back together with no chance of it pulling through. the bits cost a couple of quid and easy to do with two 10mm spanners

Be careful though, next time you hit the kerb you will seriously damage your bumper, not just some easy to replace 10p part Weak links in chains are sometimes there for a reason.
