Was on the way to teach martial arts this morning and i thought i would take the Supra. When you get there, there is a electric gate which Automaticly opens but in the middle of the road there is a little metal stopper where the gates rest when closed. Anyway i have been over this thing loads of times...WELL NOT TODAY

 

On the way out the bumper caught it and Fu**ed the bumper!!!!

 

Really Pi***d off. This was a Org Do-Luck front bumper as well

 

I feel like selling it now :(

Mate seriously... get it sorted. That's a stunning car you've got there. If you can't get it repaired I'm sure you can find a replacement bumper. Personally I'd save for a new Do-luck orig and grin and bear it for a while or possibly pick up a stock bumper cheap for a temp fix?

hope you get it sorted mate

 

im sure someone can fix it

if not have a go yourself

 

Its not that hard to do really. I got a mate to do my old Bomex one and it came out pretty well, and that was in 3 pieces at the bottom at one point, with a little bit missing:blink:

 

It was only after an encounter with a badger a few weeks later that I thought sod it, new one:D

Exactly. If you can, always have a go. If it doesn't go to plan you can always start it again or get it done properly. It cost me a bit in materials but if it wasnt for the bloody badger it would have been no problem keeping it on and a lot cheeper than a new one:)

 

If its getting done by a pro find out how much it would be compared to getting a new one though:)
