Hi guys, I ripped my lower bumper and deflector after hitting a curb, how easy is to remove it and replace my self, I don't want it go thru insurance and increase my premium. Any place sell painted bumper you can recommend, I am in south Mass. Thanks.

 

This is what it looks like, I covered the license plate with asticker.

 

Do you have a better pic, we have the primed ones, but no painted. Looks like you damaged more on the bottom end.

 

Another picture, my dealer will fix radiator, they will not do bumper, I can bring it to a body shop, or do it my self!

 

Looks like some more damage underneath, might not be a quick fix, some of the bottom main bumper skin #1 is broken and might not hold the lower lip.

But It looks like it might not hold to the bottom bumper or underneath, seems like allot more damage. I would get a running list and compare to the pics.

Now you have a cost .

 

I can tell u about $500 just to paint your bumper , unless your deduc is $1000 your gonna need some cash.

 

Thanks, I was mainly looking at the main bumper , I still have all other parts , lower lips.

 

You can do the work yourself. That will save a bunch in labor costs.
If the bumper is damaged, get a replacment, take it out and get it painted. Having just the panel loose will save you money at the paint shop as they don't have to disassemble or mask off stuff.

There are some fiddly little clips that you'll have to access for the wheel arch trim. Plan on a few extra dollars to get all the little clips and fasteners. Look at the Bentley book and on line for their video on putting the front end in "service position". It tells you most of the clips and nuts and such that have to get released to pull the bumper.

 

Hi Ecs, what it the part number for passanger side front wheel well liner, thanks.
