Another wonderful trip home from work last night. Some tree branches fallen on the road due to high winds so taking it easy behind a fiat Punto but the stupid c*w in the Punto ran over a branch sending it broken parts showering over my Mini! :mad:
On checking the damage I found a large branch stabbed through the front bumper between the lower unpainted part and upper painted part and at the end of the lower metal grill. :(:dead::blackeye: .inside it has punched a hold in the plastic surround to the radiator - at least I did not hit the radiator!
I what need now is advice on how to repair. The normal fixing for the lower unpainted skirt to the painted bumper is ripped off but I think that if I can get the two of them fixed together again then bend the metal grill back it will be almost unnoticeable.
My problem is fixing the lower unpainted skirt to the painted bumper. Access to the rear is zero so I tried gluing them together from the outside with “no more nails” filler / glue but it did not stick, thought I might try superglue next but I cannot clamp the part together as I cannot get access to behind the bumper. I don’t want to start unassembling the car the try to repair this. Any ideas anyone?
