so, after a little skirmish with a rarther jagged wall this morning, my bumper (off-side, on the corner bend) has a little less paint & plastic on it than before. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img][img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img][img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

what I wana know is, what's the best way to repair it ?

it's too nakard for just a touchup pen. so would the old car body filler be the best option & then re-spray that corner , if I can get away with just that bit!

or

is it time to take the whole thing off & get all the little stone chips smoothed & painted over ?

Done the same to mine m8, bit the bullet and got the whole bumper done, they filled and rubbed down and painted it well, worth the dosh if like me it will annoy you everytime you use the car !

Andy,

yeah .. only been done 5 minutes & ever time I look at it it sticks out like a sore thumb !

only just put my STI4 splitter on too .. but it missed that (even
tho it sticks out further !!!)

mayb after my 90k service (& when the CC recovers!) I'll look into it ...
time for a change to a 22b bummer & '00 grill maybe !

Steve

 

22b bummer sounds good sorry couldn't resist.
Well if it makes you feel better when I had my bumper repaired I put on a £200 splitter, 2 months later I didn't see a low bar in a carpark, result, f___ing tears m8 !
Get it fixed up good
Andyp

PS Splitter now back on

 

Andy,

wouldnt have minded so muhc (I think) if i'd ripped the whole damn thing off .. it's just an anoying scrape gouge down the left corner/side of it ... looks like I cant navigate my way round a supermarket carpark! oh yeah.. I cant !
