Hello all

So when i got my p38 The front bumper seems to have gone all wavey/warped causeing the grill not fit correctly... Any ideas on how to fix it ? (Pictures attached)
Thanks.

You may find that the bumper has had a nudge at on end. If you drop the bumper off, I seem to remember some clips involved in holding the plastic outer to the metal inner.
If all else fails you may be able to clamp it and glue it down.

Ah thank you that seems like it could be the culprit. I will take the bumper off tomorrow to have a little look.

Or there might be rust bubbling up there.

Looks like a molehill to me! Hope it's easily fixable when the bumper comes off..

Might go back with a bit of heat from a hair dryer??

just an update. i've removed the bumper and thank god the metal frame was not dented or rusty. It just seems to be that the plastic is lifting.
So tomorrow im gonna be clamping it all down and trying my luck with heat or some type of glue.
Wish me luck

Damn, I had to pay 170€ for a crumpled bumper and you got yours for free???

i think im going to count my self lucky with this one. The bumper plastic seems to be very easy to move. So with a tad of heat the bugger should go back.

Slowly slowly my friend, they are mega bucks new!! Mine came from landrovers and the tw@ts at the repair shop damaged it before it was even fitted...

It should have little metal clips holding the plastic on.
