Default Sapphire sagging front bumper....

As above my sapphire has a sagging/smiling front bumper can this be repaired or am I best off looking for a good used bumper?

I had the same issue, did think about putting a bar of metal across the lower sagging bit, after taking out the foam filling, but bought a nice bumper for £40 with no sag(yet).

You have to make a bid, some will pay about £700 for one

Ditto - can pick a good secondhand one up for about 250, 100 gets it prepped and painted too.

If you try to repair it, it will be a lot of hard work. Its very difficult to get it to sit right. Deffo buy a seconhand one!
