I took my front bumper cover off, to see why the bumper was "loose."
The car has been damaged. The bumper bar is bent. It's consistent with damage caused by hitting a rock. Someone crashed my WRX before I got it. Frame not bent/cracked.
Cheer up, it’s not as bad as it could’ve been. This is easily fixable with a blowtorch and some hammering.
auchs, that sucks, sorry dude, hope you can get it sorted asap :D
Take Jeremy Clarkson’s advice "everything can be repaired with a hammer"
If they went to all the effort of hiding the damage by getting a new bumper and whatever else needed replacing I don’t know why they didn’t get a new crash bar too, they’re not normally that expensive…
Can I get the name of the dealership that sold you this car?
Not sure what sort of laws you have there, but here crash damage has to be disclosed if it is known to the dealer.
I don’t think its a big deal. That maybe be the original bumper. I’d drive it as is. Don’t know if its a safety requirement but i have seen many cars with this
That sucks. I had a the same issue with the rear bumper on my Impreza being loose. I didn’t need to take off the bumper to find out though, as you can see a small crumple under the boot floor cover. Lesson learn’t for other things to check for next time I buy a car :/
That sucks. I discover new flaws on my integra every day. I figured out that my civic had been in an accident shortly after buying it. Repainted fender and bumper. You could see a bit of overspray under the side mirror. Oh well, it could have been worse!
