Front Bumper Replacement
I had the good fortune to buy a flawless front bumper cover, complete with fog light, headlight washers and wheel well liner, for $300. Now I have to put it on. The crush cans on mine are intact but the right end of the crossbeam is pretty well mangled (from being hit by a Vespa while at a standstill). I am hoping to straighten it out enough to fit the cover over it. The turning lamp is intact, but the plastic trim piece between it and the bumper (which is green) is not.
Any suggestions/tips on how to proceed or where one finds those colored trim pieces would be appreciated. Thanks.

The headlight trim piece primered is available from Rovers North, Atlantic British, or Ebay. You can also search for a used one already painted on Ebay or ask Abran or Paul Grant if they have any used ones in your color.
When repairing/fixing the old bumper check the rubber mount connection on tje damaged side. It fits into a bracket that sits just under the bottom lip of the front fender. It’s a 13mm nut and I bet you anything it’s bent you can bend it back into place pretty easy & it will make the bumper alignment much better.
