Hi All,
My wife bumped the back of someone, the grille was damaged (by the other car's tow bar) and the other car was fine so we didn't go to the insurance company. I bought a new grille and went to fit it yesterday and found this!!!
Damage includes: bent crash bar, bent crash bar support bracket, parking sensor loom destroyed, headlight washers smashed, washer hose split.
Main problem is that where the crash bar has bent it has also bent the chassis where the crash bar bracket connects to the car. Has anyone got any ideas on how I can bend this back into shape to accept a new baracket? There is a metal plate on the end of the chassis with 4 bolts holes and these are pulled in all different directions, some forward, some back. I am planning on hammering the pulled forward ones into position, but what about the ones that are pushed back?
Thanks
