front left bumper

Post by timbo.ambo »

Hi all.

The front left bumper on my EK sedan has been damaged some time ago. It looks like the "repairer" just wacked into the back of it and pushed the dents back out....not a good job :ughh: The rest of it (chrome) is fine.

Would a real repairer be able to shape it back up and re-chrome it? ...or would I be better getting another left bumper?

Your advice (as always) is appreciated. Cheers

over here you would be looking at around $200 to get one rechromed
