Why do you bother posting? Your seriously half retarded.   This in which you speak would make the clips incredibly weaker and break from NORMAL driving. If you're shit at body work yes. I didn't mean use glue like pritstick. I mean industrial glue like tigerseal. Trust me I know first hand this stuff is as good as bolting parts on. And No i'm not retarded I know many mechanics and bodywork specialists and this is their advice in this situation. Being retarded is to right your when you mean you're.

And seeing as said task would be tasking and take forever, a new bumper would be far cheaper. Hes gotcha there. And to the OP, its safe as is. BUT if insurance pays for it then let them at it. tempoluvver69 Posted at 6:54 pm on June 23, 2008 right.... hinshawwrx Posted at 6:32 pm on June 23, 2008 Quote: from tempoluvver69 at 7:42 pm on June 23, 2008 Quote: from hinshawwrx at 5:01 pm on June 23, 2008 Quote: from Edge123 at 12:31 pm on June 23, 2008 Quote: from hinshawwrx at 9:43 pm on June 22, 2008 The bumper clips are cheap plastic thats molded into the bumper, it cannot be fixed.   You could remake them, sand off the old ones then glue them on.    Why do you bother posting?

Just buy some new bumper clips and refit it. Maybe buy some touch up pens for the cosmaetic damage. hinshawwrx Posted at 7:46 pm on June 21, 2008 I can't tell anything from the pictures. A new bumper would be covered by the persons insurance if you did collect it.
