I had an accident about a year ago where a kid rear-ended me with his Jeep Cherokee. The Cherokee was totaled and I had a little paint transfer on my bumper and it picked up a bend.
Its not too bad from further away, but it is something that is bothering me. Any ideas on how to improve it? Not looking to make it mint again, just want to close the gap a bit and streighten it, or do you think that is not gonna happen. Those bumpers are obviously really sturdy and I don't know if there is a way to bend them without doing more damage.
I did a repair to a similarly bent bumper just this past fall. Get the bumper off and set in some horses and look it over to see what is actually damaged (bent). Work on one thing at a time starting with the heavy 5/16" box frame around the license plate area. Mine had a slight tweak in that heavy frame but it was at the weakest point making it the easiest spot to fix. See my commentary HERE. Once the tweaked structural issues are resolved, the twisting back into shape is pretty easy.
