Oh No...Body Damage :(
I was backing out of my laneway this morning in the dark and I didn't realize the plows had pushed a big snowbank at the end of the laneway...

Before I could stop I hear the loud CRUNCH...

I got to work and looked, sure enough part of my bumper is ripped off...

Not sure if it can be fixed or how much it'll cost to fix it... but god damn it... I'm pissed with myself....

do you mean you ripped the clips off? or did the bumper itself crack? if its just the clips those are relatively easy to fix, but post some pics for easier diagnosis

yeah looks like the clips broke off. You can get them refinished at a body shop, not too hard.

word. i think if you mess around with you can get it back to shape or atleast close to. if you push it back but you still notice the bumper being slightly off, it will mean the clips broke

Its hard to tell but the one clip is bent upwards. I think if I replace that one then the rest can just be put back into place...

Still a crappy thing to happen though
