Like another car bumperIt came like that, was wondering myself. Driver must of hit something sticking out at that level
It's very repairable, and when it's done, you will not be able to see the difference. Personally, I'd go for the repair option....aside from it being the cheaper option, its also the best one. When a new bumper is fitted, it has to be painted, and with present day composition of them ( plastic + poly carbonate + ?? ) they require special etching primers, undercoating, color coating and finally the lacquer which gives them their glossy shine. Because of the flexible capabilities of the bumper, all those paints are special in that they have to be "flexible" too. With a repair job, 95% of the bumper is factory finished, and it only need's the repaired areas to be "blended in", so less chance of cracking, peeling etc.Need to fix this or it will drive me nuts. What options do i have?
A new front bumper panel or can be it filled and sprayed. Really clueless about body repair, so some tips be much appreciated.
