cuprajake Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 remove the rear bumper, to see the damage, then you need a jig, or something to attach a chain to tis area and give it a pull, only way really, try a skip. more of a bodyshop thing really.

stig247 Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 wont be worth giving it to a bodydhop to do, id take the bumper off and then take a hammer to it, if not tie it to a lamp post and drive the car forward bit of a bodge but its done cheaply then finish it off with a bit of filer and a new bumper or bracket which ever are knackered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbin Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 or if it is double skinned drill some small holes in the first skin so u can push a flat screw driver through then tap the dent out, bit of fibreglass and filler, then ur sorted.

Dubya Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Take the bumper off, you'll find the damage more than likely looks a lot simpler than it currently does in that pic. That section of the rear panel is open to the inside of the boot. So you can beat the panel back into shape relatively easily. Failing that, you can cut along the seams and replace the entire bottom panel.The section underneath the bumper looks intact. So I'm guessing the bumper took the full impact and twisted up into the panel. Relatively simple to repair in my opinion style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> By the way, I'd ignore these gimps on here who moan about the age/value of the car. They didn't know Volkswagen existed pre Lupo style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
