Yeah I think bumper needs to be changed. 

Do check the repair costs against scraping it...some repair shops have tie up with used car dealer... not sure can include our resident most trusted used car dealer Jamesc or not...they may repair it and sell to dealer since used cars are in demand now...

Many old bumpers around 

also plastic can be replaced or fixed badly but car works fine - so if aesthetics aren’t too important just get a half ass job and continue driving 

cheaper

Like that still don’t change car?? 😬

Joke aside, I go to Hwa Seng at Sin Ming if you near the area. Boss name is Ah Boon. Can WhatsApp him with the photos first.

Thanks all for the suggestions. 

WA 3-4 of the suggested places asking for rough quote but no replies. 

Drove down to sinming area. WS boss said bumper and grille both  chui liao.

spent about another 25-30 mins waiting for them to get back regarding parts availability (seems like stockist/supplier may not have stock) 

Using oem Taiwanese part 800 all in. Use original 1.2k all in. 

Just fug it and see how the oem part turns out.

Ori part may not be better than Taiwan part especially the clips.

Cannot without probably ripping off the lower lip of the bumper off. it pierced through the bumper lip which caved inwards and trapped it there. 

The ws say repair probably start tomorrow but not say I so free to keep coming to drop off the car. So just left the car there. 

Lol the thing is actually very secure. U go up and down humps. No rattling lol.

Daytime assessment. 

Can't really see very well as it's covered from the engine bay. But seems like it stopped against a hose tube stretching across the bottom in front of the radiator. 

 

boh pian one, on the road anything that can happen will happen, as long 人平安就好! 

This type is force and angle of attack all align, otherwise seriously not easy to get it there like that. 

Anyway, I might be too late, I usually go to carport for all my repairs if not under any restrictions. 

Carport is in Jurong tho.

No it's heavy. That thing is bigger than a saf 5 tonner latch mechanism. I also not sure what it is but I thought it may have fell off a construction lorry. 

The ws uncle says it's looks like from cement mixer. Lol.
