I have NO clue how this happened. Hit a curb is my best guess?

Does anyone know if this can be fixed without replacing the entire bumper?

Are you the only one that drive's this car? And If it was me I would replace the whole bumper. But I think It could be repaired but I wouldn't do it.

Yes im the ONLY person that drives it.

Anyways yeah I will most likely replace it all

I am just really curious to see if it can be patched up some how safely.

There are no safety issues with the corner there. Patching it would probably cost as much for a bodyman to work as simply replacing it.

Taken4granted

yea you should replace it

It can be patched and if done correclty should never give you problems. If you are worried about it giving you problems you would be better off replacing it.

We had a similar case when a woman didn't pull her car all the way into her garage and she shut the electric garage door. The handle came down and put a hole in the bumper about that same size. We took the bumper off and fusor''d a mesh patch on the inside and let it dry. Then we filled the outside with fusor. After it dried, we sanded it down smooth and just painted that one section and blended it in. Of course, it was white so the blending wasn't too hard but that red would be a little harder to blend. It can be done. Call some shops and get estimates then get an estimate on getting a new bumper painted and blended. Compare the prices and go from there. If its cheaper to get a new bumper then take yours off, buy a new one, put it on yourself to save some money then take it to get it painted. If its cheaper to have it fixed then again, take your bumper off yourself (saves money) and take just the bumper up there. Its easier to fit a bumper over in a corner to fix than it is to take up a lot of space with a car that just needs a bumper fixed.

If your the only one that drives it and you have no clue how it happend then you must day dream alot when your driving. Or just run into random **** and not remember.............

theres no way you could hit a curb causing that and not realize. no way, ud feel/hear that for sure. might be fixable. its low, so people wont notice if not blended perfectly.

I would just replace the whole bumper unless you have a friend that is a good body man.
