Title: Front bumper falling
Post by: SpeedLimit on April 23, 2012, 05:02:42 PM
Dear bro and sis,

Help needed.

My front bumper falling loose.
Went servicing at autosaver and request them to help.
Was told that the 'catch' is broken and cannot to fix.

Anyone encounter this problem and know where to repair?
Do not wish to spend $ on new bumper as my car is 5 yo.

Many thanks in advance

hi bro, i had the same problem due to some ******** reverse into my car.

after resparying, the spray paint shop tell me cannot be repaired, went to lye design, they tried also cannot saying the catch cannot be replaced.

i am lucky as my catch is only slightly spoilt so a bit misalignment only.

Permanent fixed? Bolt and nut can be use?
Any idea how much a bumper will cost?(need not original)

Even able to find one at workshop, the condition may not be good.
May still got to pay for more for it.
Unless at scrapyard, where the bumper might be good condition

Anyway, thanks bro
Latio forum seem quiet

I second that. Latio seems like not many things to mod and play, unlike Honda cars....Off topic a bit, Bro NSman, can pm me where you got your Nismo S-tune front bumper and Impul bodykit and the price? I've been looking around but can't seem to find any workshops that brings in these two...Many workshops bring sin Honda bodykits but for latio.... :( :(
