    A3 Prang

    The Brother in law was moving my A3 and reversed it in to his own car
    Ive not seen the damage first hand as im away just now but the missus sent me a photo.
    Is it new bumper time or can that kind of damage be popped oot?

    warm it up with a hot air gun and get something behind to push it out if you can,if not a slide hammer will pull it out

      Looks like it could be popped out, but you'll still see the marks in the paint unless you get it resprayed.

        cheers for the suggestions

        Will have a go when I get home just wanted an Idea if I had to start looking for a bumper.
        Know a man for resprays so if it comes out ok should get it sorted without spending too much from the S2 fund.

        cheers

          That will NEVER look right again. The plastic has stretched. If you want it good as new then a new bumper is required. Sorry...

            There is no reason why a skilled panel man could not have that as new, we do a lot of plastic repairs at work as insurance companies are realising they can save a fortune having it repaired. i personally refuse to do them when the damage is up near the mounting points as this never looks right and the plastic weld usually tears or cracks but the damaged area on the a3 doesn't look that bad
