Bumper repair.

View attachment 42095 While on holiday I backed into a horizontal pole sticking out of a fence, breaking the rear drivers side rear light and putting a deep crease and dent in the rear bumper. Used a hair dryer on the bumper and this is the result without any paint job. Still need a rear light or just the lens if I can find someone with bad LED's.

That's awesome Brit. You can barely tell (except for the broken light).

I was pretty amazed myself the picture of the damage does not really show how creased the bumper was, and I felt sure I was going to have to replace the bumper.

The light is the problem. I can only get a 2004/5 version here second hand and a new one is out of this world price wise. I also cannot get an aftermarket one here in the UK. I see in the US they are available on Ebay at good prices, but cannot find anyone that will ship to UK.

If I could find one with dead stop lamp LED's I am sure I could make one good one out of the two. (Being cheap again).

John.

I just wonder why the eff they call them "bumpers".

Yes I agree I have seen thicker plastic oil drums.

PM'ed you

Get the 04-05 lights and swap them, the smoked ones are way cooler (fact)

Unfortunately that would involve buying two instead of one.

Thanks Ed but I have not received the message for some strange reason.
