Boxster Loses Battle with Curb

[blinkwatt]

Can't a shop just fix as much as they can,then bondo and then refinish?

If the paint is not cracked, sometimes you can heat up the area with your wife's hair dryer and push the dent out. If will not be perfect, but it will look a lot better.

Replacing a bumper is an easy DIY job, just buy one that's the same color.

I thought bondo was for the metal surfaces of a car, not sure if you can bondo a bumper. Since the bumper is flexible wouldn't the bondo break off? I'm not expert so it may be possible, I'll talk to some shops after this weekend and see what I can find out.

Suggest a mobile bumper guy. If they can fix it, it will save you some dough.

I know 996 bumpers fit 986's... so do 997 bumpers fit 987's? If so Id get a GT3 bumper, or look into the 987 aerokit if its a big difference, I think ive seen a pic and it just had a little lip is all.

The pic does not look too bad. If you want to DIY use the hair dryer to heat up and it should "pop" back into shape. A little body filler and some paint and it could look as goos as before.

Don't think a 997 and a 987 bumper because the headlights are differnt, boxster 987 lights aren't circles, they are round with a corner that points inside to the bumper. The 977's are just round, no corners or nubbs to disrupt that.
