Toyota Yaris 2012 rear bumper

[bebe11]

Hello all,

i have a question about the above as in the title, someone i know has a yaris 2012 one and had reversed into a bollard cracking the driver side rear of the bumper and smashing the tail light.

I was given the task of removing the rear bumper and light and fitting new ones.

upon starting the job i noticed that the chassis on that side had been bent badly and the lights clip at the bottom would not align with the chassis due to the dint.

ok so i got the rear left all aligned and clipped in on the left side no problem with ease, but i could not get the right hand side clipped in for love nor money, so i told the person that its either down to the chassis being bent or a white clip that was missing and also smashed.

i was also later told the bumper had come from taiwan, which i then explained parts from taiwan are quite inferior and dont fit right and she was better off getting a genuine one from the scrapper.

just want to know was i right in saying it could be any of the below if not all as to the reason why it did not clip in.

1. the bumper is ill fitting
2. the bracket on that side is shot and damaged in the smash
3. the white bracket that the bumper slides into is not there
4. the chassis is bent and this is the cause of the bumper not clipping in.

any advice.

thanks.
