Damage to rear bumper

[Sam_K]

Hi, does anyone with body shop knowledge think that this crack on my rear bumper is repairable? Thanks sam

Saveable, yeah. But personally, for the hassle involved, i'd look towards buying a second hand bumper from a breaker.

Trophy ones are hard to come by for obvious reasons. I will keep on looking though. Hows about a cost on a respray for the bumper, any ideas? Thanks for your help. Sam

What do you mean Trophy rear bumpers are hard to come by... They're the same as any other 182 bumper.

That could be filled/plastic welded and painted easily and cheap enough.

I think he means in the right colour for a straight swap...

Has the bumper seen paint before? Noticed the red paint on the bumper strip.

Easily repairable.

Yes I know they are identical, I meant one that is already capsicum red. I actually didnt notice that until i took the photo. Right before I did this damage, and there was a lot of swearing as it was literally the day before, I had a car park scuff repaired from a chips away type person but I never noticed his bloody overspray!

Cheers guys will try and drop it in to a body shop when I can

chips away type person

That explains the overspray. Lesson learned here; don't use mobile repairers.

Proper bodyshop is a much better idea to sort that.
