thats a real bummer m8. :(

Hope it aint to badly damaged.

Aint actually fitted on of these but I guess the way you could to it is use epoxy resin to temporarily hold the bumper in place.

Refit the carriage onto the rear
lay a large area in the middle of the bumper with epoxy resin (araldite)
then push the bumper in place onto the carriage.

You can use fast dryin stuff but you may need to sit there with a m8 for a while

You may need to build it up 1st though - dunno if the carriage will just stick straight on.

Alternatively you could try cuting up the old bumper - remove the carriage and the section with the clips and stick this in place. The fibreglass over it. If you cut it to the same length, it "should" line up

I guess the bumper never came with fitting instructions?

my m8s cracked at the top on the passanger side. we fitted it by just putting bolts thought then boxes shaped things on the bac of the bumper then just drilled 1 nu hole 4 a bolt and it fits nicely now
