front bumper hanging...
i have a 98 coupe and i slid into a little snow bank and when i was reversing out my front right side bumper got hooked and it popped off my right fender. when it did it, it made one big hole any ideas on how to re attach my right side of bumper on the side of car hooked to the fender?
yes i didnt realize till about a day later.. the bolts are gone and everything ..no its not bent but it did make one large hole where its bolts into the fender im not sure on how to keep the bumper flush with my fender now without my bumper hanging down
Did it tear the hole in the bumper or fender (or both)? Can you get pics for us? I'm sure I can think of something if I have something to look at.
And in the meantime, drill two 1/4" holes in front and back of the original hole, and use them to zip-tie the bumper in place. You can use it as a permanent solution (I had the driver's side of my rear attached like that for a few months until I did a little rust repair lol), but if you're like me, you'll eventually want it fixed; bumpers held on by zip-ties are for drift cars (seriously... body kits on purpose-built drift cars are usually zip-tied on so when they hit the wall the ties break and the body kit doesn't get damaged as much).
