    Bumper Trim repair or replace?

    Hi Folks,

    I need to repair or replace the black trim on my 84 euro bumper. Does any one have the trim pieces for sale or know the best way to repair my existing ones as they are badly scuffed and have had previous poor repair that looks s**t

    I can get the right side from the dealer but the left is unavailable and that is the one that is most damaged.

    Many thanks

    Tom

    I had a missing black trim piece and used the right side on the left. All I did was flip it upside down and cut the outside angled end so it fit. The end piece covered the cut such that it did not show.

    That was my preferred option too but Bluntech couldn't find the left one back in May so I utilized the right piece off another bumper I had.
