I was arguing with the bf (now ex anyways.. long story) in a local community college parking lot to get school books. He found a spot as i was passing the lane, so I backed up as far as I could because there was another car behind me, tried to turn tight to miss the curb... but I scraped the bottom of my bumper and the black plastic inside my wheel well came off!!!! So ____ed about this

Anyways, I can't get good pictures since its dark now but anyone have any idea how this can be replaced? Or if it should be replaced at all? The bolts that were holding it to the well are still on the well, just the plastic tore through them and kinda ripped a tab on the bumper half way off.

Going to go to my dealer tomorrow after work and see what they say can be done about it. Hopefully its an easy fix without needing a new bumper. This day is not going right at all. So glad I don't have to drive anymore either.


Also, I didn't break up because of this incident. I knew someone would try and suggest that.

 

isnt that plastic held on by screws? or did you completely ripped it off?

 

The screws/bolts are still there, the plastic tore around them.

 

Would bigger plastic washers used under the existing screws be an acceptable temporary fix?

 

I would think so. Not sure though! The only days I have to actually look and assess what really happened will be Fri afternoon and the weekend. All my other days are spent at work, day or evening classes.
