mplavery Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Was on the way to teach martial arts this morning and i thought i would take the Supra. When you get there, there is a electric gate which Automaticly opens but in the middle of the road there is a little metal stopper where the gates rest when closed. Anyway i have been over this thing loads of times...WELL NOT TODAY On the way out the bumper caught it and Fu**ed the bumper!!!! Really Pi***d off. This was a Org Do-Luck front bumper as well I feel like selling it now here some pics... This was this morning Now this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Pop a standard bumper on and jobs a good un A bodyshop MAY be able to fix it, but clearly its not going to be as good as it was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlT67 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 That sucks, should be repairable though, most of the repair would be done on the inside I would imagine so they should be able to get the outside to a near original standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Mate seriously... get it sorted. That's a stunning car you've got there. If you can't get it repaired I'm sure you can find a replacement bumper. Personally I'd save for a new Do-luck orig and grin and bear it for a while or possibly pick up a stock bumper cheap for a temp fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoff Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 hope you get it sorted mate im sure someone can fix it if not have a go yourself Its not that hard to do really. I got a mate to do my old Bomex one and it came out pretty well, and that was in 3 pieces at the bottom at one point, with a little bit missing:blink: It was only after an encounter with a badger a few weeks later that I thought sod it, new one:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoff Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Exactly. If you can, always have a go. If it doesn't go to plan you can always start it again or get it done properly. It cost me a bit in materials but if it wasnt for the bloody badger it would have been no problem keeping it on and a lot cheeper than a new one:) If its getting done by a pro find out how much it would be compared to getting a new one though:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
