damaged front bumper

Hi,

to make the story short, I ending up having my front bumper pulled ou while reversing. Damage is as shown on pic. My question: would a good bodyshop be able to do some plastic welding to repair the broken bits (red lines in the pic)?

Thanks
vincent

Yes a good bodyshop will be able to fix that up pretty easily. Have you checked to make sure that no other parts of the bumper have deformed?

The bumper is bound to have been stretched if its pulled out that bad, a decent body shop may be able to ensure a perfect refit but would keep an eye out for odd gap lines.
