i was turning around and i can get about 1-2 inches away from objects...i even have pics but on friday i just had an extremely bad day
i dont really even know exactly how i did it but i hit a wall...
i bent my bumper out on the passenger side and pushed it in on the driver side and put some nasty scratches back into my bumper
are there metal arms under the bumper that hold it in place that mighthave bent thus making the bumper bent or could the bumper just be bent on its own?
i somewhat fixed it because i have spray paint for cars in my car but it doesnt make it perfect
and i just pushed the bumper back into shape with my foot but its still a little twisted

It might go back to shape also if you heat it up / cool it down a bunch.. i think you can do that.. can anyone confirm?

I remembered, one time at school...a girl tried to back her big ass boat cadillac or chevy into a parking spot...but only happened to back into my front bumper! ..leaving a pretty round hole :lol:
lucky me, the bumper is plastic....so i used the heat gun and a piece of wooden..and grind that sucker out ..still scratches on the bumper but not noticeable :eek:

I was backed into by a broad in a ford exploder. Bent my bumper (flared it out right behind the wheel. Took it in for an estimate (Just wanted a new bumper that doesn't have all the ski-pole scratches like mine has) and the guy said nothing I can do but bend it back. Reached under and started twisting and pulling near the wheel arch and bam, bumper was back to normal.
