Bumper repair

Bumper repair

The bumper is made up of three elements: a reinforcement bar, a filling and a plastic cover. Its purpose is to absorb part of the energy released during an impact. If damaged, the bumper must be removed to be repaired or replaced with a new one. If the damage is not vast, the bumper can be repaired.
