well after i filled my car up yesterday i noticed a nice big black mark across my front bumper and headlight :x not happy! Someone must of swiped the front of the car, luckily most of the black paint has come off but its damaged the paint slightly on the corner under the headlight and the headlight bracket must be broken as the headlight is wobbling around :headbang:
Obviously it needs closer inspection but im thinking what my options are for my headlight? Do i just try and repair the bracket or is it hard to get a good repair? Buy another standard headlight? or i keep looking at the angel eye headlights and quite like how good they look, so use this as another excuse to modify :D
 
Really annoying.
Bumper off and look at the headlight. If a bracket is broken it's an easy job to simply plastic weld it back together.
You can even do it with care with a soldering iron to just melt and smooth the parts together.
 
it is! i have a feeling its a neighbour thats done it so i will be looking at her car and having a word! yea iv got this week off so il get it all off and have a proper look, iv tried a bit of plastic welding before but im just a bit unsure whether it would hold the weight of the headlight again

If done correctly it will be as good as new. If you're worried cut a few bitsnofmplastic of other parts of the headlight and add them to the joint.

Def do some neighbour detective work though.

While the bunper's off, maybe even go for a clear lense conversion... may then end up thanking the muppet who turded your car...
