This repairable? Did it tonight on an unavoidable pothole....wheel is FINE..nut it cracked right where it fastens..I'm devastated

Any thoughts/help?

Yes. A professional body shop should be able to fix that right up.

 

I would think you would have to get a new bumper if it's cracked off like that. Could be wrong but a professional opinion will certainly let you know.

 

Repairable: Yes
Recommended: No

 

Yeah it probably won't look back to the way it was before if you got it repaired. Excuse to invest in a new front bumper?

 

not worth repairing it to a half *** condition when a little more money will get you a new bumper

 

I'll be about the same $$ to repair that and getting a new one for now you should do a quick temporary fix with some zip ties and look around for a cheap aftermarket bumper on the market place there is always good deals going around!

 

if you know someone in a bodyshop that can give u a great deal then yea repair it but if not just get a new bumper its a nice excuse to upgrade to a nismo or something

 

Epoxy to glue the tear and some fiberglass mat/resin behind it to support it would work...a body shop should be able to sand it up real nice and paint it to look like new. Like said though, though it may work...it's probably not the absolute best option. Will probably cost a good amount too. At that point, you might as well just slap a whole new bumper on there.

 

this will justify getting the aftermarket bumper that you've wanted.

 

Anything can be fixed. That right there would be very repairable. But do you want to fix up the bumper? It's up too you.

 

Will only fail if repaired. That is a brace point holding a screw that will cause stress break apart.

 

That is "Fixable" but I'm not sure it's worth the cost unless you can do it yourself. You didn't mention what bumper it is or where you bought it from, Strafe..fiberglass? Next time buy a urethane bumper, you won't have these issues...

It's fixable but it's better to get it replaced if that is an original bumper. It will end up cracking and the same thing will happen and you will just waste money.

 

That's a urethane kuruma from Strafe if I remember correctly..
