General TechHave a question that is not covered by one of the other categories? This is the forum for all other items not specifically covered in other categories.
I've got a small dent in my ED's bumper bar (grey plastic part) from by the looks a tow ball (about the size of a matchbox). I was wondering if anyone knows a good place in brisbane where I can get it fixed?
Thanks
Donno

You could try KwikFix, their head office is next to where i work, they also do work there. They also have mobile units which come out and do repairs. Not really too sure if it will be able to be fixed, i have the same problem, but on the silver bit on the rear bumper thanks to the trailer
The cheapest way is to fill it with a body filler designed for plastic repair. This type of filler is very flexible and will flex with the bumper if another bump occurs. Also the silver strip is a body stripe which pulls out so a new one can be put in.
I like the body filler idea, sounds nice and cheap lol. How about the colour match though? Do they come in different shades? Thanks for the replies guys. This could save me a fair bit.

I would but the problem is morney, being a uni student and all, so i'm looking at the cheapest solution possible. Dad seems to think they can melt in a new peice of plastic, like they do in a cracked dash, is this possible?
