Front bumper took it hard

I was driving in the snow and not even doing anything wrong just pulling out of a spot. Someone parked behind and long story short I ripped the passenger side bumper off up to the headlight.

Does anyone know if I just need new clips or a whole new bumper or what? I pushed it back in and it stays, but it is not in all the way. I think the last clip got ripped completely out.

Thanks for your help I searched and couldn't find much.







First one is pushed back in.

If you ripped out the last clip, you'll need to fix it. Easiest thing might be some bumper urethane that you can buy in stores. You can also try drilling a new hole next to the old one if there's room, and then use a zip tie to make up for the two offset holes in place of the nut/bolt we have on there stock. Good luck!

Looks more like a fender issue than a bumper problem...

No it was my fault what happened was he boxed me in so I had to pull out diagonally and when I was backing up my bumper got caught on the a big pile of snow. I might just pull out the screw and try to rescrew it in and hope it holds.

^ Awesome pic! :lol;

Well like us drift guys do... PINK ZIP TIES But seriously, if there is enough meat in the fender, no homo, drill a hole so you can re attach the bumper. I have the same problem.

i had the same problem, although i didnt hit anything, but all i did was find a washer and bolt that screwed onto the 10mm bolt in bumper/fender. then just straighted out the tab on the fender and put the bolt with washer and nut through it. holds better then it does new
