Front bumper shattered on ice, HELP!!!
Hey all,
I was reversing on my driveway yesterday and it has a little dip where the street meets the driveway. In that little dip was a solid ice mound hidden. Not to mention that its been between 5 and -10 degrees here in chicago so the plastic was very brittle and I also had a crack in the front bumper. The bottom park of our cars lip that always catches those parking blocks caught on the ice mound and the lower grille poped out, so did one of the foglight grilles. The whole bottom of the bumper shattered and now I have a piece hanging down off of some sort of line. I dont know if its a coolant line, a washer fluid line for the headlight washers (cold weather package) or the power wires for the fogs. Heres a pic with the area in question circled. Im gonna go take a few shots of the actual damage. Id appricate it if anyone can tell me what runs in that area.
Thanks
Jon
**EDIT** I cant get the picture up but the problem arear is right under the lower grille
Im gonna keep trying the pics

Anyone stupid enought to own an AUDI AND ALFA deserves a trip straight to the nut house. (This is from a guy the used to race Alfas.)
I suspect you have the fog light wires and headlight cleaner hoses there. I'd just tie things up with zip ties until there was time to do the job correctly.
