NCT Question Cracks in Bumpers?

opeldave · 2008-06-11 14:00:17

Hi Im doing the NCT test shortly & my car has cracks in both from & rear bumpers. Just parking damage but the car is a 1999 Mondeo & has vesy soft bumpers & hence has some cracks a few inches long. Would these be a fail or could I put some strong duck-tape etc on them? They are sharp in places & you can see right through…

If they are sharp they will fail from my understanding. Ring the NCT centre and ask them and they will tell you straight away.

I brought an 1997 Mazda 626 for testing with a cracked front bumper, it was of no concern apparently. Sharp bits may be a different story.

A little bit of DIY to remove the sharpness and I think youre probably ok (from experience)
