Sorry everyone but I have another question about my Galaxy MK 2.
A few weeks ago, I stupidly ripped the front bumper off by reversing and turning and not seeing a very thick concrete post. I've obtained a new side wing, plastic wheel arch liner and plastic triangular bracket but have not yet found a bumper. The plastic clips on the end and at the back of the bumper (where they clip into the plastic triangular piece) have all been snapped.
My question is "do I need a complete replacement bumper or can replacement clips be attached"? Sorry if this seems a silly question but obviously need & want it repaired. Thank you.
anyone?!
I can't follow what's broken tbh mate? The triangular piece your referring to, is that the plastic that links up the arch liner and bumper? If so I though the clips were integrated into that bit?
Here's a picture (not the best for this but you can enlarge it and zoom in). This shows the bracket on the car with the bits that clip into the bumper.

And here's a picture showing the sockets on the bumper side (ignore the location of the external temperature sensor and bracket - it's a shot I took when I was trying to find out where it went after a radiator replacement at a garage, when they just left it dangling - it should be mounted on the car - pictures elsewhere)

It will look different to yours lemoncharlie as I removed it in a more conventional fashion! As you can see, and Mirez, stated the "peg" section stays on the bracket and the "socket" is moulded into the bumper.
Thanks!! To be honest I was so gutted and embarrased at the time I just pushed it up off the ground and taped it all up, lol. I shall have a look tomorrow, you may have just saved me the trouble (& expense) of replacing the bumper!!
I hope so. Fingers crossed for you.
