Repairing nose areas around headlights?
The flat area below the headlights is sagging. Can that be fixed?

Sure. The bumper covers can be heated and manipulated, then cooled. I'd imagine the trick would be not applying too much heat.

Well, nothing to lose. We wouldn't run the nose the way it is. I might use a piece of 1/4 metal to rest the flat on and heat the metal from below.
