nolanator Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Oooooh VS gods of paint and body, i humbly call upon you for i am out of my realm on this one... a.k.a. wtf mateso as i mentioned earlier my bumper was somehow pulled off violently. below the damage is pictured. discretion is advised. this is what it should look like (drivers side)this is what the passenger's side looks likei went to a body shop to get an estimate on what the repairs would be. i didn't even know what to ask for! cut off the bent flanges and weld in fabricated ones?? bend the old ones back into shape?? this is frustrating, and i need some reassurance that this isn't a big deal.

Chilled man Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 bend old ones back into shape get new bolts for both side and the one side where the nut that was welded on and now removed get a bolt and nut along with a large fender wash and be golden. its not worth getting cut off and welded on .

nolanator Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 why not just do it yourself ? take about 10min and $5 worth of paint i know i could but i would rather have the quality assurance, and someone to blame if it goes wrong. on the bright side however i did get an R bumper ordered this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomcat Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I could understand that if the chassis leg had been bent, but all you've done is pull the corners out of shape and snapped off one of the captive nuts. I could have that straight in about 5 mins with nothing but a hammer and some vice grips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
