Bumper Restoration

[lightsource]

How easy is this bumper to fix? I found this bumper @ the junkyard for $25.

I figured this dent would be easy to remove, tell me what you think.

Urethane doesn't like going back to its original shape that much once its been in a spot for too long. I've bent back lips with a heat gun and some patience. I used ice packs to help shock it back into shape after i was done heating it each time. Over time it seemed to do the trick, but it wasn't anything that severe.

The rest looks like it could easily be repaired.

Damn, so there's a chance I might be screwed and just have to get another bumper?

Little late lol but burnsauto answer your question.

I would pull it out as much as possible then throw on a lip.

To be honest..for the time you need to fix this, I rather work for couple more hours and use that money to get a new bumper. It's simply not worth the time fixing it. Get one in better shape and sell this for $25 to whoever that doesn't mind the dent. Just my 2cent

[bejota180sx]

it's not gonna take THAT much time not like he is gonna spend days with this... and second it doesn't have to end up THAT perfect... the lip will cover most if not almost all of that damage...

Heatgun and 10 minutes. Done.

[loveskylines]

[silpena]

heat gun or emerge in hella hot water for awhile and brance/reinforce it to get it back to shape or u can just sell it to someone who doesnt mine and buy my perfect white chuki front bumper heh heh.
