Dave Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 get some gaffer tape to keep it on till you repair it, if your going to drive it. put a pic up that will help people advise you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 is it a genuine or replica bumper. reason for asking is if it is genuine it should bolt in place in the same location of the stock bumper. If its replica it could have any means of fixings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytotheB Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 I came off the curb and it was a bit too low. No speed either Both sides seem to have come off and I fear I have lost some screws/supports/whatever. I don't need to drive it for now but desperately want it fixed and asap It's a Veilside bumper (apparently). I am going to kill myself Piccies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evinX Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 If its come apart on the side of the bumper to wing, it has 2 bolts, when they take a nock thats usually a breaking point....drill a new hole in the bumper and wing + fit new bolt which will hold it up...i can repair the bumper to...get some pics up...

evinX Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 hehe seen the pics, thats an easy fix mate, very easy job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 In the last pic you can see where the stock bumper was held on, see if you can feel captive nuts in the bumper at that location on the bumper. If so its a case of fitting some 10mm bolts in place with washers. If you look at the plastic inner arch you will see a plastic fastner on it in picture 1. this should line up with holes on the bumper and self tappers with washers hold this part in place.

Cerikbok Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I would be more relieved your bumper is a Do-Luck and not a Veilside LOL. Hope you get it all sorted. Never a good feeling to have the Supra broken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 just as it fg does not mean its fake fella, fg is an easy material to use thats why its common on kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Yep, and plus with aftermarkets kits witch are low, its better that they are fibreglass and not plastic as plastic is a bitch to repair compared to fibreglass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 All you need to remember is that if fg cracks or you loose a chunk it can be repaired very easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytotheB Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 I am a newb. End of. Hopefully it is FG because there are some... let's say 'imperfections' which I am looking to be sorted. Aside from this issue I am looking for a nice repair man to sort the little 'imperfections' from the previous owner. I have a couple of people who have offered help. Thanks to them And thanks to you guys for the quick responses. Sorry I got emotional but it's too new and I am so protective. I take up to car parking spaces at work so no idiot prangs me with their Corsa door :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
