Ok maybe im am over estimating what the bumper should do from the looks of it,

I am just comparing it to my front bumper which was nearly the same price, that I regularly thump hard off road at work, I had an off-side head on with a transit van at 25mph it bloody hurt but the bumper nor the chassie moved, it just needed a coat of paint

Will you be able to straighten it out with heat and a hammer?

Cheers Iain

I'd like to thank all of you for your kind words and backing my up on this one, usually folks see a post like that as an opportunity to give someone a roasting.

We do try extremely hard to provide the best service possible before and after sale, but in this case there just does not seem to be a warranty related issue.

Without seeing it, couldn't say for certain but likely so. Would need to be cherry red hot and you'd need to know what you are doing. It will never look like new though.

You got any pictures
it is possible to straighten it out cold ,you will get less distortion
in the steel (big hammer and two blocks of wood)

Thanks kirkynut and nick G for the help with advice for straining I will post photos when I can find the dam camera lead, My jimny is used for work and experdition travel and is not a hard core Jimny like yours, is it a regular thing to hammer the bumpers straight again???

Cheers
