Mk4 bumper bracket repair

Recommended Posts

Hi kids

 

As can be seen, the front bumper brackets from my car look like wet spaghetti - I guess the previous owner was a devotee of touch-parking?

 

Anywho, is does the one on the left look like they're supposed to? Or is the long straight bit at the back supposed to be at 90 degrees to the very front bit?

 

If anyone can share a piccy of unmangled brackets that would be much appreciated.

 

many thanks

The one on the left of pic is slightly bent as you say the end should be at a right angle to the long straight piece with two mounting nuts, I'll see if I've one somewhere.

Thanks very much for the reply. With MAPP gas and a BFH I got them to this. Not perfect but closer to being a matching pair...
