Here are some pics of my damage Celica. I really dont feel like explaining how it happened but just tell me what you think.
   My front lip is badly damaged but the piece thats broken is pushed in. Do you think i will need to buy a new kit or do you think it can be repaired? |

Do you have the chunk that came off the front? If you do it could be patched back in. Otherwise it would take a lot of work and an artistic eye to build that in from scratch. If you know someone with the same front lip you could make a mould from it for a patch.

The front lip should be an easy to fix.
I think it would be easier to buy a new one and paint it. The rear would be quite a job. --------------------  98 ST204 ZR - Black Beauty - Roaming the streets of Sydney 73 TA22 LT - Tiffany Blue - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 75 TA22 LT - Snow White - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 77 RA28 LT - Flubber Green - Mint Classic Weekend Cruiser 94 MX-5 NA8 Clubman - Red Racer - Looking for corners WIP Project: 69 RT40 Corona, 2nd WIP Project: 66 RT40 1600s Corona 86 Corona RT142 - Daily Driver 6GC 4 Life Baby!!! |

i think it would be cool to customize that front end, if your crafty enough...maybe take out the rest of that lil part down in the center of the two side triangles? make it look like extensions...or just patch the piece back in.

it happened to me, i have an old invader front where i ripped and shattered the bottom piece and half the bumper. I hit a ditch.
it was alot easier to go out and get a new front end, the problem is, you pay like $150 or so for the bumper, then like another $100 for shipping... |

Ok ill tell you all what happened. I just typed a long story telling what happened and my comp froze up so im going to make this story really really short. I have side damge because someone backed into me as I was going around him. My front got messed up when I slid into a parking block thing when it snowed.
So my car is messed on and its not getting fixed until after winter. All I have to say is there goes my engine swap money. |

If the guy backed into you, isnt that HIS fault, or is it yours cause you went around him?
