Replacing Body Parts
Hello. I need to replace the bumper and front wing on my 2004 colour collection Yaris hatchback. Is it a difficult job to remove/install these body panels, and would I need any tools other than a good screwdriver set and a jack?
Also, would I be correct in thinking that the metallic paint would be a job best left to a body shop? Thanks for any help you can offer. |

Trust me, don't mess with the paint if you expect perfection. I messed with mine... didn't expect perfection, and certainly didn't get it!

Painting can be fun if you have the desire and place to do it....but like the other posts say, cheaper to have someone else do it because perfection probably won't come the 1st time, so you may have to do it, and do it, and do it........but if you ever do want to accomplish it, you have to start with the 1st time!!

Agreed about the paint.
As for removing the bumper, I see you ahve the provious generation Yaris, but if it's anything like the new ones, it should be child's play.
