a few months ago i spun out on ice and ran into a snow mound and chipped my front bumper. repair shops want nearly 700 to fix it, I think thats ridiculous what do you guys think i should do?





thanks

Neil

find somebody that can do plastic welding, a good body man and i would say
$200-300 bucks to get her all fixed up and match painted.

I am guessing but i don't think i am far off.

Adds character to the car. Id leave it instead of paying that much $ to fix it. I have tie straps on my bumper lol. Cracked it and refuse to replace it. Stithced it up and its good to go. Just cracked the lip last night. Im sure its gonna get the same fix. My $.02. Good luck.

My front bumper was damaged without me knowing when my car was originally shipped to me, top of the intercooler lip was broken. However it's not nearly noticeable as your damage, but I left it. Figured eventually I'd just get a new front bumper anyways due to the Colorado winters.
