Because in this case the repaired bumper may not be able to withstand enough impact force, there is a safety hazard .
critical part damage : If the bumper is broken or damaged in critical parts (such as the lifting lug and fixing code near the wheel position), it should also be considered for replacement. The damage of these parts will affect the fixing and protection of the bumper, and increase the risk of driving .
economic factors : If the cost of repair is much lower than the cost of replacement, and the repaired bumper can meet the safety and functional requirements, then choosing repair is the more economical option. On the contrary, if the replacement cost is lower and quality and safety can be ensured, then the replacement is more appropriate .
