I say it's time for an upgrade. Get a facelift bumper! Although I do like the look of the pre-facelift on Luke's car...

Bad luck!!
I know how you feel, believe me. I crashed my Celica just last week. Just waiting for the engineer from the insurance company now... Think it's gonna be written off tho as need new bonnet, driver's side wing, new bumper and driver's headlight. Managed to source most of the parts except the headlight!! As rare as rocking horse sh*t!! Good luck with the repairs mate.

Well i sorted out the new bumper on saturday with Dan23 from CCUK.
    what a fun job fittign the bumper was, we had to cable tie the pipe for the jets out the way, and cable tie the fog in for now, its all gotta come off again for the re spray so it doesnt matter, whats important is it doest look terrible now. and of course i couldnt resist getting a little photo shoot               EDIT : I dont know if its just my screen but the car looks sorta purple...i assure you all its still very much red!!!!!

Saved it?!
Did you try to pop the old bumper into shape? It kinda looks like all it needs is a kick to pop it out? Look forward to seeing it resprayed, in the mean time, get the polish out boy, it looks dull as hell!

Yeah i did actually just kick it out and popped out no probs! Needs to be heated abit i think just to get it perfect but its certainly useable again and probably in better nick than the other one lol.
Im off to a body shop this lunchtime to find out about a respray! Haha it needs a clean but the weather has been awful so not really been much point recently but ill get on the case soon!!! |
