]Hi all, just bought a 51 saxo 1.1 3 door and I need to repair the front bumper. It's a standard non-colour coded one and the skin is fine, but the molded backing bar is quite badly damaged. I've unglued the two pieces so I can repair/plastic weld it before rejoining it but I don't have a clear image of how it looked before impact and all I can find on google are modified ones!

Does anyone here have a pic of their front bumper internals, specifically how it fits to the body of the car itself? I have the two white plastic brackets intact too, but no idea how it all goes together!!

Here's the car in question, only a base one, but still very nice:

Hope someone can help,

Thanks,

Trev.

if i can find a cheap black standard one nearby i will. in the meantime it looks like fixing the old one is probly my best bet. i'm new to working on saxos tho and dont actually know what the back of the bumper looked like prior to impact.
