civic bumper repair

[[archie]]

so pagkatpos ng tahi - ano ginawa? minasilya ba bro to smoothen things out before refinishing?

parang ganon na ata... kasi casa sila so hindi ko nakikita yung step by step. pero ok naman result, walang noticeable imperfection.
yung nga lang yung nabannga ko ulit, nakita ko na yung tahi hehehe

titingin din ako ng surplus sa banaue baka mas mura kaysa sa participation fee sa insurance.
P7k daw ang participation fee.

try ko rin mag-inquire sa mga fiber glass fabricators kung kaya nila repair lalu na yung mga kabitan ng clips/screws para di kumakalog ang bumper.

wow!!! parang kalokohan yung 7k participation. yung mga bago ng 4k lang eh. yung sakin 2k lang 2000 model. baka naman replacement na yung kakabit diyan and kasama depreciation...

same problem kami ng TS yung sa kin naman mas noticeable lalo na sa front bumper pa at ang laki talaga ng punit. pambihira kasi parking dyan sa festival ang taas ng stopper. mga sir, mga magkano kaya ang pa-repair o mas makaka tipid ba kung palit na lang ng surplus na bumper o trade pwede kaya..

pwede tahiin yan. then buohin n lang pintura para di halata dugtungan. nasa 3k pa repair at pintura.

nakow medyo mahal pala. parang mas maganda pa ata bumili na lang ng buong bumper

^^ mas mahal pa din kung surplus kasi kailangan pinturahan yung binili mo. lalo na kung taiwan lang mabili mo kasi hindi aalign yan ng tama.

may nagpa fiber dito sa amin, dun ko na lang dinala, tingnan ko na lang yung result kung maayos. pinatanggal ko na din yung rubber sa gilid para mag mukhang sir look..

Glenn, I need to repair my bumper also. Were you able to fix your bumper na? Ok ba yung magpa fiber? Saan mo pinagawa?

[empy]

i don't like the tahi or fiberglass repair method, especially on a section of the bumper that potentially flexes a lot like that bumper corner. the mounting points also appear to be ripped off, so the repair on that would probably be mickey-mouse as well.

i would replace the bumper para iwas sakit ulo. the guy who suggested looking for a surplus unit has the right idea. just pick one that only needs painting and/or minor refinishing op kors - useless kung may punit din yung nakuha mo :bwahaha:

and it's not true that painting a new bumper involves extra labor. it's easier to paint a new, clean bumper, than to repair, putty, sand, and paint a screwed-up one.

Whats the best place in metro manila to find surplus units? Any idea on how much it might cost?

[baludoy]

masmaganda daw kung reinforced iyan ng perforated gi sheet. may tendency din kasi pumutok agad ang tahi. pero surplus is still the way to go if it's not too much of a hassle for you
