My front bumper has been distorted I guess something has been left laying against it for a long period of time.



If you look at the bottom left side you can make it out from the above picture. My question is can I straighten this and how.

This happens a lot for some reason it's a simple fix if you can resist not using it for a month or so, I wedged a metal bar with a block of wood on the end between the bumper and front crossmember, wavered a heat gun on the bumper from inside the once just quickly left it for a month and it's stayed in original shape since

That's basically what I was thinking. I have the bumper off at the moment, I was going to shape a piece of wood and clamp it in place then either add some heat or bring it indoors.

Mine before and after just don't go too mad with the heat,, mine hasn't bent back atall since
