P38- Rear bumper

kapilamuni · Jun 20, 2016

Hi,
Recently , I reversed into a wayside sign post and the left edge of the rear bumper broke into pieces.
Is the rear bumper made out of plastic?

regards

The outer skin is. Underneath it is something left over from Brunel's day.

How can I repair it?

Considering you didn't get away with just a crack but actually have it in pieces now, I think you'd be better off getting a replacement one from a breakers yard or on ebay.

You could use some plastic pipe solvent to stick it all back together, fill with body filler, rub down and paint. It'll probably look ****e, then you can go for options in #post 5. Good luck, better make that a 4 week trip for Wammers and myself, the tickets havn't arrived by the way.

when I posted ****e I meant sh1te

I've just had to replace mine. A good second hand one was £45 I think.

If they're not smashed, keep the colour coded side bits to transfer to your new bumper. The're just clipped in. It's all obvious once you've got it off the car...

He's in Sri Lanka, I think. Not sure how may are being broken over there.

New skins are still available but you probably have to sell your kids to medical research.

Isn't that what they are for? We could bring one as hold luggage (bumper skin) but would have to bring Grrrrrr as well, in an advisory capacity. So three 4 week tickets, business class minimum, accomodation and perks (nudge nudge wink wink) and all your problems will be sorted.

Up for that. Not sure what I could advise on or am I the budgie to test the food and see if I pebble-dash my pants before the dessert?

You going to the Landyzone event this weekend?

Enjoy it while you still don't need a visa and healthcare cover.
