Thanks to a fox deciding to kill itself on it, the teflone strip on my front bar has a nice dent in it which i cant seem to get out, is there any way to fix it? Tried flexing it back into shape but it keeps going back to the shape of the dent.

What about parking it in the sun on a hot day? Have heard that working before- but you may have to wait until Summer!
Could try heating it carefully maybe?

Yeah not sure, it seems flexible enough cos i can bend it a bit with my hand, but it wont stay in position. I wont be fixing it myself, going to let the panelbeaters do it as i dont want to stuff it up - Ive heard theyre a real bugger of a thing to remove then replace again.
I'll suggest heating it up to them, any other ideas on how to fix it?

Replace it with the spare brand new one I have in my garage haha.
Kidding, they are a pain to get back on. If you can't flex it back, I am not sure what to suggest.... heat would be one of my only guesses. Tim |

If i cant straighten the current one out I will take it off and put a new one on, Im sure it can be done. Another idea with minimal chance of happening is to put the bodykit on.
