Is This Damage Easily Fixable?

[Justanotherholdendriver]

Just wondering if the damage to the front bumper of this car is easily fixable? And at what costs? Thanks.

Would probably be cheaper to replace the bar cover with a new one than to fix that. New front bar cover and painted will cost about $700.

Couldnt get a Panel beater to push it back in or something? dont really have $700 but i have a panel beater friend

The cheapest way would be to find yourself a 2nd hand bar in the same colour. Its a little hard to see from the pic how bad the damage is exactly

You could probably push this out, take it off yourself I reckon.
Make sure if you do, the steel bar behind the plastic isn't damaged also, I would say it is, if so get a hammer and go the hack, and push the plastic out with your palm, although don't be surprised if the paint cracks or stretches, fixing that number plater is as easy as using and hammer or jump on it :P
Good luck, but if that was my car, I would try repair it myself, screw paying 700 bucks. Even try ebay or a wreckers that may help you, might get lucky and get one with the same color for much less.

Oh and funnily enough, if you can get your hands on a heat gun, it will lift a majority of those dints out, wont be perfect but look alot better.

you could try what has been suggested. I had even less damage, and my pannel beater recommended a new bar. said it would never look straight or right again. However he did offer to attempt to straighten it out as much as possible for only $100 - $200 if i wanted some paint to cover up the black patches.

Ask around, you might be supprised
