Broken Nose

Hey Guys

I am trying to repaint my car this winter and was wondering if it is possible to repair a cracked front bumper? It has spider web cracks across the front and small cracks in the corner from the previous owner. I dont want to butcher the car so if its best to just get a different one let me know but its allways nice to save a little money!!!

Thanks in Advance!!

Re: Broken Nose

Usually the spider cracks are just paint that cracked when the nose flexed. Yes, it can be repaired assuming its just minor cracks but keep in mind that the repaired area wont be as resilant if hit again. Any autozone will have repair kits for sale.

Re: Broken Nose

That is probably the most common question on the board. Just do a bumper repair search and you will see lots of threads on that
