Oh no! Boo-boo bumper!

Help! I just wrecked our front bumper pulling out of the driveway (we were moving it as they're planning on paving it) and I snagged the bumper on a metal peg and pulled it off/tore it. Has anyone had to get their front bumper replaced? How much should I expect to pay? I'm in Burlington, ON, so if anyone can recommend a good place to get this fixed, please do!

Sorry... meant to include it's an '06 hatch (not RS) and it's the 'Blazing Blue' colour.

Thanks!

did you mean you tore part of the bumper or it snagged on something and the bumper got pulled apart from the body?

if it got pulled away from the body, check the top part and side of it. cause its held by plastic clips......as for the botom portion, its all screws......

Hey ... a metal peg managed to get behind the front bumper as I was pulling out. It separated the bumper on the passenger side, and there's a crack/tear sort of middle-ish at the front bottom. We managed to pop it back into place temporarily, but it's obviously something we need to get fixed. We called the dealership and they said $400-$500, but we were wondering if anyone else has had to get the front bumper replaced and how that went.

mine was insurance covered so i cant tell you how much is the exact cost.

anyway what happened to me was when a friend was learning to learn a bike.....so he kind of released the clutch early and the bike ram into my left side of my bumper, got caught on the exhaust and got pulled apart from the body.

if physical blemishes are not a problem...just buy new clips....and all should be good.....and also check the bottom plastic cover if it got torn apart......since if loose, it will vibrate when going on higher speeds....and in the long run might rub against your tires....
