A damaged bumper makes your car look older than it actually is, however, the selection of the correct bumper is essential. The car bumper varies in size and specification according to the model, year and trim of the vehicle.

There are certain things you need to know before purchasing one.

Vehicle Information Check

Begin with the basic information regarding your car.

* Make of your vehicle
* Vehicle model
* Registration details of your vehicle or vehicle details
* Year of manufacturing
* Vehicle body style
* Vehicle model generation

Two similar-looking cars belonging to different generations may use different bumper models.

Which Bumper to Purchase – Front or Rear

It is crucial to know which bumper you need. At Dial4Panels we offer both front and rear bumpers, as well as parts to go with it.

Do not assume that all front bumpers available for your car model can be used in your case. The mounting point or openings may vary from version to version.

Check For Fog Lamps and Sensors Openings

Some modern bumper models include various openings for additional equipment.

For instance, certain bumpers could have:

* Fog lamps openings
* Parking sensors openings
* Grilles
* DRLs
* Number plate openings
* And other car parts

It is always advised to compare the description and the pictures with the broken bumper before you place an order.

In some cases, the replacement of the bumper is not enough. The damage caused by the accident could affect other components of the bumper.

These components include bumper reinforcements, bumper end caps, grilles, mounting brackets, or other mounting components.
