Default front bumper repair

i lightly rear-ended a ford edge and there is a small 2 inch crack in the front of my bumper. it's barely noticeable but is it repairable? i'll post pictures later.

As long as the crack isn't on a stress point (like close to fastening points or lower lip), it's very repairable.

it's kind of a bit under the right turn signal. very small crack. whenever i look at my bumper it's pretty much invisible. it also has a bit of a dent but i'm sure fixing that would be a breeze anywyas. i'm gonna call the man i hit tomorrow. nothing really bad happened to his car jsut a little scratch no dents or cracks. also seems like he had another dent a bit up on the rear hatch so it seems like he wouldn't really care haha. he seemed nice

If its small it should be fixable, mine was deemed unfixable for obvious reasons after I ran off the road back in 2008 lol.

*****. That sucks man. I bumped into a trailer hitch lightly like 3 years ago and am still yet to fix it. Bugs the hell out of me every time I look at the front. I keep telling myself I'll get a new facia but it serves as a reminder to me to pay attention, haha. Speaking of facias did you decide to go that route or the chin spoiler? I can linx you the number of a shop in Burlington I brought my car to to have the rear bumper touched up after someone bumped me at a red light. They did an excellent job. Dunno what you wanna spend though.

Why repair it when "new take off" will sell you one the same color for $200. By the time you get yours painted it will cost that much or more for the fix.

how much wou;d it run? it's such a small crack..

and new takeoff never has alloy. plus it's a v6 bumper.

ps i'm gettign the chin spoiler. not the frotn fascia. less money, and no need to paint which would cost even more money.

Hey dude, sorry for taking so long, been busy with work and such. I honestly dont know how much it might be for your situation. Mine cost about $500. The lady who hit me covered the bill completely. You may of found a place to get her fixed up already, but I took mine to Mountainside Collision. 2481 Industrial Street, Burlington (right off the 403 @ Guelph Line). Their number is 905-335-3171. The guy's name is Larry. Driving up to the place it looked a little shady, but he took the time to show me some of his current projects he was working on in the shop; some real nice classics. They took pictures for me to document their work and such. They did and exceptional job. Would not hesitate to return again. My friggin bumper was the nicest looking part of the car, haha. I highly recomend them if your in the area...
