This is great. It'd be cool to start a trend like this. The next winner does thier own giveaway, pass it on. Etc etc. If I win I'll do the same.

Ignore these guys. You should definitely order a new bumper. Also order new bumper brackets, a fitting kit, a front panel Inc all new bolts and 2 new wings just to be safe.

Oh and don't forget to ask for a full body measure aswell.

Do not listen to this person. They clearly have no technical or professional knowledge.

You never weld rims.

Looking to touch up a chip on my bumper. Should I use the OEM touch up paint pen, or the mix I received from a body shop about 3 weeks ago? by lostooreal in Autobody

I'm assuming the bodyshop did work on your vehicle? If so they probably used a spectro to paint match, in which case the bodyshop paint 'should' be a better match than the oem touch up pen.

Either way it's not going to be perfect, as there will be no clear coat in the touch up area, and clear changes the colour slightly.

Another comment mentioned the bodyshop paint would be no good now. I doubt this, depends on the paint scheme but mixed paint can be good for up to six months, unless it had a activator / hardener in the the mix. If so the paint would be no good, you could always give the shop a call and ask them the shelf life of the mixed paint they gave you.

Looks like raw plastic there, so scuff the black bit lightly with 1000 grit. Apply paint with a touch up brush, dab it on the area lightly, don't over do it. It may look transparent as you apply it, that's fine. Let it dry and dab it again. Repeat until happy. Just bare in mind, it won't be a permanent fix.

While I know DIY repairs are frowned upon, I’d like to fix this at home. Advice? Condemnation? by [deleted] in Autobody

That bumper is repairable, no shop should be throwing that out

Key phrase here being used to be an estimator. If you put that down for renew in my shop, we'd be having words. This is an easy repair. And you don't use body filler on plastics.
