Default How to fix the "broken smile"

Those lines in the lower front bumper on my car are not strait. (One of them sags down in the middle) I'm pretty sure its because I went down a small hill and the car bottomed out on the front. I tried fixing it, there are these little clips that clip into the bumper. But I think that the black peice itself is broken that holds those narrow lines in place. Anyone suggest a way to fix this?? I know i've seen a lot of 964s that look like mine...

John Miles has a section on his web site http://www.porsche964.co.uk/
Go into the Technical section / Body and Interior / Crooked Grin Straightening....good luck

Ian,
I did this fix just a few weeks ago. It only took me about an hour, and it would've taken about half that long if I wouldn't have been in a hurry. The link that The Russian posted is the one I used and it's got pretty much everything you need to know. All you need is a phillips screwdriver and a bit of time. Good luck!

I think the problem with mine, is that plastic peice behind the smile thats like a mesh of X's is broken.
