Could this be straightened???

[PaulAshman]

I have now got all my bits as you all know. The only thing is my replacement bumper is not as mint as the one that got damaged. Do you think the one below could be straightened. It is not broke the chrome, just bent. Any thoughts or offers of the straighten would be great. Thanks. Paul.

I guess anything is worth a try, but I suspect it would be very difficult to get the creases out.

 

I'm assuming it's an insurance job? If it's the only way to bring it back to pre-accident condition, then why not get the replacement one rechromed on the insurance?

try it mate but dont hold out much hope

i doubt it will, the chrome will crack as you bend it again, worth a try tho

[marky4]

even if the chrome doesn't crack i think you would have trouble getting rid of the creases

 

ask the insurance if the replacement could be re chromed you never know they might say yes or may say will only pay up to half the cost, who knows
