Bent Chrome Bumper

[RedMk2Gti]

Can anyone recommend a good bumper straightener? I'm located centrally but will travel for a quality repairer.

I'd say getting new one from alex_g will be easiler and cheaper, you only need the bar, the rubber can be reused, except the end cap.

Alternatively try the " press, vice (with soft jaws!) and a hammer, block of wood etc." method yourself.

i think the bumper is half the problem those end caps basically don't exist anymore to get them will be long nights browsing eBay

There's these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Gen-V...0869QQtcZphoto

The ad says they'll fit but they look different

I've got three end caps in the garage all for the other side

Also have a rear bumper but it's not in as good condition as alex's.

Awesome!! Will be in touch!!

And thanks to everyone for their input.

Still gonna suss out if it can be easily straightened and at what cost, but it's good to know there are parts out there and people willing to help

[thestu]

are these the correct one guys?

If you claim insurance they will write the car off as the parts are no longer available.Seen that happen locally here!

That's absolute garbage.. at worst they'll pay you a cash settlement to get it fixed. There's no way any insurance company would write off a perfectly good car for the sake of bent bumper. Today Tonight would have a field day.
