Hey guys, i just got my 2006 323i 2 weeks ago and i was pulling up to a parking spot at school and my bumper went just over the cinderblock that is at the front of the parking spots. It scratched a bit of the bottom but put a nice 4-5" crack in the bumper. Just wondering if it's able to be fixed (patched, sanded, etc.not really too sure) or if im going to have to replace the entire bumper?





Any help would be great.

Thanks!

No idea...the pictures aren't working. However, my bumper is for sale for $200 bucks and that includes the fog lights, carbon fiber splitters, and clear bra.

Can't see your pictures either, but depending on the damage you me be able to have a shop plastic weld it back then sand n paint.

If you want know we need pics, and bodyshop may be able to repair it, but it wont be cheap, as they have to remove it, sand it, epoxy/filler/prime and paint and reinstall...$700

fixed the pics, and thanks for the help so far!

buy a set of splitters and just cover up the damage, its a cheap alternative and give's you the opportunity to mod

since it is way down at the bottom of the bumper, you can prob snap it back in place and put some touch up paint to cover it, it will not be noticeable at all, no one will ever know... except you ... its up to you

I tried snapping it back in place, it wont seem to budge back, unless i am not pushing hard enough. Im such a newbie at all of this too

i can't comment on fitment of this brand in particular, you gotta check around and see who is happy with what brand because i don't remember which vender sells good fitting ones, and which do not. this is just for a visual and price range help

Awesome! thanks for this. Going to buy a pair and get them installed.

could snap them back in place(use some muscle), then duct tape the inside, and it'll hold up for the time being until you decide what step you want to take.

1 I did the same thing to my car. Put the BMW performance lip on my car to cover up the damage and my damage was bigger than that so it should work out fine.

[jalcantar2010]

Just buy that seal in the can spray that is being sold on tv.. N since ur bumper is black, no need for paint afterwards.

[mjollnir19]

wow that's hit man.. perfect excuse for a upgrade msport/mtech front bumper FTW
