Default Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?

Removed my front bumper cover and repaired damaged caused by me being stupid and pulling forward over one of those parking place wheel stops. When I backed up, the bumper cover hung on it and pulled the drivers side away from the fender, bent the bracket that bolts them together, and tore a small notch on the lip.

I detached the metal bracket which is affixed to the bumper cover at the join point, straightened it out in the vise and reattached it to the cover with pop rivets.
The fender was also slightly bent in the join area, used a rawhide mallet to get it back close to normal.

End result : you have to look real close now to see there was ever any damage.

( and I avoided the dreaded 'salvage title' )
