    Default Bumper Repair or Replace ???

    My trusty VL has the original bumpers, and with wagons being alittle thinner on the ground, it's even harder to find a good rear bumper for a wagon.

    Is there a thread that can show me how to repair, or do I have to replace ??

    Any help would be great !

    if its cracked i dont think u will be able to plastic weld the bar, as its a harder plastic then that is used on the bars to day and is more brittle

    the bars are 3 peices so you dont have to fine the whole bar just the part you need,
    my front bar is stuffd and i was looking for a bar s/hand but nothing, i was told just to buy the new bar for like 100 buxs complete because a good undamaged bars is rare s/hand 4 vls
