How to fix broken bumper bracket??

Dave McB · 24-09-2009, 08:32 AM

The front bumber bracket on my saff has broken (not the side ones, the main one @ the front going into the slam panel)

Iv got to take the bumper off or change it to fix it. Any idea how to re attach the bracket?? It seems like a clean break

Iv got a spare bumper but i would need to spray that if i were to fit and dont fancy gettin it done if i can avoid it.

I would say your best bet would be to dig all the rubber etc out the way and try and fibreglass it in.

i have removed all the foam so i got to what looked like a metal plate but it was so rusted it just fell to peices!!

Old post, but back up to the top.

The bumper has finally come off (after 2yrs) and both brackets are rotten

Am i chopping up my spare bumper or is there an aftermarket bracket available to buy?
