Exhaust Burnt Bumper

[woody_159_2000]

Hi, can anyone give me some advice on how to tidy up my rear bumper, as my ktec stealth was fitted a touch too far back and has burnt a hole through the rear bumper?

the bumper has bent inward as a result of the heat and the bottom inch or so around the exhaust exits has actually burnt away...i was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what they have done to make it look a little more respectable, rather than buy a new bumper?

can anyone help?

cheers

Bodyshop repair, or buy another rear bumper if it's fubar'd.

yeah and remember to get the exhaust moved back abit so it doesnt happen again!!

Is it repairable, or is it new bumper time?

Ouch, did ktec fit it? Might be worth talking to them... have heard they're really helpful guys.

 

[woody_159_2000]

i'm afraid i have to hold my hands up to this one...got it fitted on the cheap and it needed another inch or so taking off the centre pipe. will get this sorted before repair or new bmper obviously, so i dont blow another bumper.

still...anyone got any ideas of fixing rather than new bumper if possible?

Ouch I think youd be better sourcing a new bumper its really eaten away at it, Doesnt look like burning though just a dodgy cut

its not the right colour. The dude's car is titanium silver and that bumper is iceburg silver

i would ring round a few breakers yards mate.

 

[woody_159_2000]

Really! I always thought my car was iceberg silver? but if its titanium silver, thanks

Mate eat my ass!! Don't be so picky!! Silvers silver haha :rasp:

 

[woody_159_2000]

so is the silver on ph-1 172's titanium...and the silver on ph-2 172's iceberg?

or can ph-1's come in iceberg too?

172 colour details

 

[woody_159_2000]

that was awesome, thanks... just got to check my cars paint code now

 

[woody_159_2000]

mv647 so titanium it is...

 

[woody_159_2000]

any ideas no how i should cut this to make it look a little neater?

not sure if i should just cut it to fit a 182 exhaust surround, but might look weird with no pipe coming out of it... or should i cut it to make it straight with rounded edges?

does anyone know if the 182 surrounds are flexible and could they be bent and fixed onto the bumper if i cut it straight with rounded edges?

thanks for any help
