slight bump...

Postby kane9522 » Thu May 20, 2010 11:05 pm

had a slow moving run in with a jazz's rear bumper...

not sure if i should take to Mitsubishi to see what they say...it appears only be small damage to the front bumper and the number plate is a bit bent...

You can take it to mitsubishi if you like, they'd probley just replace that chrome piece (from what i can see is the only part damaged). Cost - im guessing somewhere between $100-$200 for that chrome piece. Im sure Ofey will be able to find out for you...

Looks like a bit of a graze on the top of the bumper, depending on how deep it actually is, you might be able to buff and polish that out. Wont be completely gone though id imagine. But to get it completely perfect again, you'd be looking at a total respray of the front bumper.

Yep. PAnel beater. The dealerships will probably get you to go to one.

Perhaps the cheapest way is to get the Panel beater to replace hte chrome strip whilst you get one of those bumper touch up guys to fix that graze.

Number plate, well... unscrew and straighten it yourself I suppose?

looks like the guy I hit talked to insurance company before I did...

yes the "chrome" bit is snapped, and a small section of the blue bumper next to it is cut/snapped as well...

as for on top...one of the joiners/holders is snapped, so the bumper probably needs to be replaced anyways...

at any rate we shall see what the insurance company says when I get the car quoted next weekend...

Tony if you need I have a really excellent panel beater I use... He is the only shop I trust to touch any of my cars or friends/family cars.

He is located down here in the Redlands, small private 3 man family shop.Let me know if you want his details.
