yer mines like that, on the top and bottom, might take it off and find a flat surface and gently flattern it out,

the bumpers arent old

although looking at the price of a new bumper (35 i think i saw) not really worth spending a hole day doing it.... may sand down my new door instead :D

nice job mate, touches like this really bring the car up! these bumpers tend to rust out in 4 or so years. i have waxyoiled the the seams at the back and that seems to make them last long, (less rust this year than last year)
