Life hack: Here’s a great way to get rid of cracks on the bumper

If you have a car cracked bumper, the money to buy new and repaired plastic parts may differ from new by the presence of visible traces of repair, then you will definitely come in handy the next life hack.

This repair option is really no different accuracy in the understanding of the majority of car owners, but it has its own special charm and appeal to young people, especially for one that adheres to motor sport subculture: the drifting and motorsports in General. It is unlikely which you will discover that car racing is often a hard contact sport, dings and cracks in the bumpers here business as usual, so in about professional racing circles, young athletes prefer to deal with breakdowns on their own.

Of course, there are several most popular ways to connect a few pieces of broken bumper (with tar, using the mesh with epoxy, and even through the use of a soldering iron), but we will consider a mechanical bond with the plastic clamps. So the process looked clearer, first watch the video in English (can turn on subtitles and translation):

Looked? The structure of the work clear? Then, you can start arranging systematically the most important stages of work.

For repair you will need:

1. Drill

2. Slim drill

3. Scotch

4. Plastic cable ties

The repair actually does not take much time and does not require special training. As the saying goes: “there would be hands straight”.

I. To begin, connect the two parts of the cracked bumper together. Gap in it should be minimal, all parts and sides of the bumper must lie in a single plane. Then you will need to glue these parts with tape so that it is possible to proceed to the next stage of repair. At the 2.50 minute video shows how to do contraction of the cracked bumper.

As you can see it is better to repair alone. Assistant can insure when you have not enough hands.

So you do not damage the bumper even more, if the drill off to the side, and a plastic tie will not eventually wipe too narrow and the wall structure will not collapse.

The step between the openings is thickness of a finger. Under the tape visible line of crack. Go through her line. Rather than work to drill the holes, the more sound the design.

III. 6.00 minute video. Quilted bumper. There are two drawings retraction: parallel and criss-cross. The first is easier to do the second option better holds the pieces of the bumper.

The first type stigma: Parallel

In order to reach the inner side of the bumper “do-it handles” off the inner fender. The workflow shown on the 6.55 minute educational video. A couple of minutes and the bumper is ready!

Criss-cross

Attention! Smooth the surface of the plastic clasp needs to be on top.

Tighten the ties must be strong, until until no audible clicks

Ready! Looks stylish, and most importantly it is really working version. Bumper once again got the stiffness and the loss of functionality.

Elegantly and functionally. The repair is over
