It pulled the bumper part of the way off in front of the driver's side. Currently it is being held on by duct tape (repair shops keep retaping it every time we go in).
My question is, what would be a reasonable price to replace the front bumper? Are there any other solutions that I might consider?
Any help would be appreciated! Please and thank you!  |
$300-400 for a bumper cover before paint. Then add another $100 to paint and install. Had my PT's face lifted X3 all in that price range. Also make sure you get a bumper cover for a Turbo - there is a difference for your bodystyle between the turbo vs non-turbo.
First lesson when driving a PT = don't tuck into parking spaces.
And if you have broken the mounting tabs there is no fix for it, if you have just popped it out and lost the hardware you might be able to use some nuts and bolts/washers and get it back together but the fit will probably be off.. But if money is really tight you might be able to swing it for a while, worth a shot to look at least

My personal thanks to veteran and novice crewbies that have offered information and how-to's they have been instrumental in taking LiquidPT from modded car to stock to live a more quiet and sedate life.
