Yeah someones car's tow hook went into my rear bumper.

There is a break in the bumper about two inches long, and the area around it is dented. is it possible to use filler and just paint over the damage area, or do i have to replace the entire damn cover?

(i understand the filler is a cheap, half *** solution, but im saving up for a body kit so i really dont feel like buying a new oem cover. lol)

 

ill go take some right now. give me 10 minutes.

 

 

Ouch. A shop does not like to fix bumper covers. Remove, patch, paint, install. Its too time consuming. Besides the cover flexes, and may not hold a patch.

Your car is insured right?

 

yes sir

 

Yeah, that's fixable

 

awesome. so im guessing some filler work? and would they just paint over it?

 

If you plan on getting aero then dont even worry about repairing it. Put a damn sticker over it for the time being if it bothers you that much. It could be repaired but i wouldnt bother if you're going to replace it anyways.

 

Kitty hair, bondo, and repaint. You shouldn't have any issues.

 

thanks a lot.

 

If your planning on getting body kit, do what I did with my rear bumper

 

^ ????

you couldn't just throw some epoxy on the back of that **** you just massacred and plastic shoelace'd it?

 

looks more like zip ties lol... clever!

 

This trend will be popular 12 months from now. You are way ahead of the game.

 

Black duct tape.

 

lol, the rear bumper was useless, the crack goes all the way from the bottom to the turn signal, also it had another crack in the middle of it, thats why I ziptied it.

 

Yeah but doesn't that draw an assload more attention to it than the crack in the first place?

 

yup! but it keeps it from flapping around

 

already popular in the VW scene haha

 

the guys from formula D showed this trick to us when they came, several crashes ended in them putting the bumpers together with zipties
