Hi All,

Unfortunately i've been fobbed around by a bodywork shop that i rejected a quote for them to do some work on my car(respray)

They have clean cut one of the plastic tag/clippers on my bumper which means it doesnt full slot into the bracket on the car. Does anyone know if this can be repaired or if i have to get a new bumper? pics below.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello Roshy,

Even a secondhand ( and probably damaged) bumper is not going to be cheap.

My way forward would be to get a new piece of plastic fabricated to match the others and get it plastic welded on. Any reasonable bodyshop should be able to do that. 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

Thanks for the response,

Amazing website, @Magnet you read my mind mate, i actually have my spare damaged bumper at hand and all the clippers intact. I plan to cut a section out for the body shop i will be using for my car work and have them weld it on and make it look spanking new after the respray! 😄

Regards
