Purchased the car this way and there was no undercarriage damage; just the center lower cover broken off. The owner didn't have the missing piece and I don't want to source even a scrap yard cover.

Sooo... looking for a quick fix that is structural as well as somewhat cosmetic.

Not sure where to come up with a plastic piece at all so was thinking of angle Al. Even Al sheet custom cut and bent to match then overlap it inside and pop-rivet/epoxy it into place. with body putty could mold it in better and paint to match? [dunno] I know the stock lower curves out slightly but am hoping that a straight piece will suffice?

Any suggestions are welcome. I'm NOT a body person, just mechanical. [wrenchin]

Call it the "Front Bumper Cover" and search nationwide.
Call the yards and ask about shipping costs.

I see a few around.


I wouldn't bother trying to fix it. It'll just end up looking like poo and bother you more than it does now.
Found one about 3 hours away for $375. I need to know what a new one is...
