About a 1/2hour ago some idiot in a huge jeep clipped my bumper and turn signal... I know I haven't been on here a whole lot with working and my grandfather passing away recently but is there anyway you guys can help me get this thing looking like new again? I think the bumper piece is done for and I already have a fender replacement. And I had a clear corner there. I don't know what else... just kinda shaken right now.

thanks

front bumper, fender, and a corner. Nothing major, just need a little paint.

The fender can be replaced.
Just need a corner. Did you have clear corners already? If not, it's an opportunity to get some.

Front bumper will need to be replaced if:
The bumper is broken, can't be patched, or creased.
The bracket is broken where the bumper attaches to the fender.
Body work to make it right might cost more than a new bumper.

Majik couldn't have said it any better.....Thats minor, easy fix.

majik - yeah I do have clears the one in there got knocked off and got road rash.

tibfreak - yeah thank god that cf hood is still good

I went back outside and checked it again, I don't think the actual bumper got any damage. Might just be the cover.

So I think I'll get a new cover and put my amber corners back in until I can get another pair of clears.

update: it's buttoned up best as can be. A hammer, some plyers, a 2357 bulb did the trick.

But i'm not going to fix it completely until I can get back on track with real life stuff. But I'd like to rebuild the whole thing.
