I sent my Mitsubishi Lancer Sports for 10,000 km service today. I requested the service guy to look at the right hand side of bumper which drop about 1 cm from the rear light.

The mechanic told me this most likely cause by bump from behind, but it’s may not be visible from the surface. I did not tried very hard to insist this shall cover in the warranty. I had to wait for the call in the afternoon to see what is the next step to take.

True enough the mechanic called in the afternoon and confirm the damage was by bump from behind. And the repair cost is 160 and only can adjust it back to 90-95%. The work involved remove the plastic bumper and hit the bracket that support the bumper back to original condition. I’m not sure how serious inside, I decided to leave it as it. As this may not worth it as the gap is small and did not affect any part of the function. May be defer the repair to the next schedule service after 20,000 km.

I’m kind of give up in maintaining the external appearance of my Lanser, after the scratches from the both front doors when we get someone to force open the door. This is out of no choice as the spare key is in Singapore while the key locked in the boot of the car in Sekinchan, Selangor about 450 km aways from Singapore. :(
