Broken Front Bumper

[Rocky88]

I'm surprised I couldn't find such topic yet...

Anyway I'm new on the forum. My R32 has a bodykit (front bumper and side skirts). Today I had a little accident in a carpark. I hit the kerb at very slow speed and the bumper broke off on the sides, where it's atached to the car. Below are the photos. It's still holding on on the front, but I'm afraid it will fall off at higher speeds and damage the car.

Should I get it fixed with fibreglass repair kit like this one (either myself or professionally) or buy a new one and get it sprayed. Please no comments such as "just get a stock bumper" because even though I have to be carefull with it I like it how it looks on my car.

U can get it fixed by using those fibreglass repair kit or leave it with the professional like.. panel beater/smash repair

with the panel beater, they will fix that damage and respray the whole bar, guesstimate $200-$300

Thanx. If I let panel beaters fix it how good are results? It may cost only a bit more to just get a new one and get it sprayed.

BTW, is that your car in the sig. Looks like it has the same body kit as my R32... Vertex, right?

That was close. Just took the bumper to panel beater today. He charged me $350 and until wednesday I'll have to drive around without front bumper (and hopefully not get defected).
