Title: Rear bumper dent
Post by: cutelmo on January 08, 2012, 11:36:26 AM

Hi all,

I have check the history on the repair cost on the bumper. What is the current price to knock back the bumper plus touch up.

I have accidentally hit a barrier while reversing back in the night, thus cause a dent. Any kind soul to guide me with a workshop that knock back the bumper and touch up with min damage. Recently just change coolant and change tires. Pocket burn with a hole. Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Adam

Our bumper, w/s will use heat gun to soften the plastic and press back into shape, then they apply some kind of putty or cement to level the surface and respray.  May not get back original smooth level.  I mean, if look at certain angles, especially light reflections on the bumper, you can see the slight variations of the surface level.  But not obvious unless look very closely.   Probably cost you $120-150.  I repaired mine in Autobay Kaki Bukit.
