    Default Rear Bumper Repair GSi, Front Bumper soon!

    G'day Lads.

    Just thought i'd show off a before and after picture of my rear bumper after I reversed into a low rock at uni....

    Had a local mobile repairman come around today and repair the gashes and crack. Couldn't believe what a clean job he did. He also repaired and sprayed my damaged VXR spoiler FOR FREE!

    before:



    After:





    All Up it was $300 cash. So happy the car is on its way to the way it should look.

    I'll update this thread once I receive my new front bumper from Autovaux (after the boss drove it into a concrete bollard )

    First time VXR spoiler fitted? Just love them, look so delicate and elegant.

    Yet to fit it as it was damaged on the way over. Still got the GSi lip on the boot.

    The VXR spoiler had quite a big crack running from the top left corner and spider webbed all the way down to about 1cm before the bottom middle edge. I was surprised it could be repaired in such a sturdy way.

    Have the same thing on my front bumper which is also a bit deformed out there. But to get rid of this I think i need to change whole bumper. Nah... let's say I don't perceive it

    Shipping is being looked into at autovaux. Was rough quoted about 600 pound to get it across. Still ends up being cheaper than buying it from Holden.
