I drove into a wall :bowrofl: in the Southbank carpark during a tight corner turn :redface: . It sounded worse than I thought it was.

Any ideas how to cosmetically improve it and how much would it cost to remove that mother-of-a-dent :rant: on the bumper. I feel like taking a hammer to hammer it out, if I can get access to it that is. :rant:

looks like its time to get some parabolics and a TH front bar! it'd probably end up cheaper to replace than try and fix it anyway

I would suggest to u to just look under the bumper and try and stick ur hand in there to push the dent out.

Something similar happened on my car at a car part while my mom was driving it, and my dad just pushed the dent out and it looked fine except for the scratched paint.

But try and get teh dent out asap so that it dosent stay that way and then forcing you to get a new bumper and sprayed.

Yeah I've tried that, using a hammer and trying to hammer it lightly. Looks like it's too big a dent to push out.
How much does a replacement parabolic(or whatever has been suggested..I'm clueless :redface: ) cost??

dont even bother asking about parabolics if you have a 98 tf itll make you cry, $777 im gettin my car fixed on insurance atm and i asked how much on top of my excess id have to pay. it worked out to be about $450, apparently if my car was newer the lights are only $500+ instead $777.
so yeh ill just keep my normal lights thanks

i incurred similar damage a couple years ago (hit a tree).

Picked up a brand new front bar - $135 from ozeparts.com.au, and got it painted for $150. Fitted myself, too easy
