Mitsubishi Lancer 10 Bumper Repair Warranty - 6 months

We unscrewed the bumper, laid it down conveniently and the first thing we need is to dock the "fragments" as close as possible. It is convenient to use a clamp for this. Naturally, the nature of the chips will be different, in our case, one clamp at the edge of the edge is sufficient.

From the inside, we solder the seam with an ordinary (60 W) soldering iron.

We use staples for the stapler as reinforcement. We solder them at a distance of 3 mm and weld the seam.

From the outside, in place of the seam, we remove the paint and varnish coating with an "orbital". around P240

We solder from the outside, in a similar sequence.

We clean the soldered and cooled =) seam, around the same grain size (P240).

Thoroughly blow through the whole thing with compressed air. Then we take a hair dryer and melt the formed villi on the plastic

Next comes putty for. plastic.

Mix and apply with a rubber spatula, because the surface is quite embossed.

In hard-to-reach places, a finger serves as a spatula;).

We grind the filler with a P120 wheel.

Under the ground, change the circle to P240.

We direct the soil in a ratio of 3 to 1 (according to the instructions). Priming in 2 layers with intermediate drying for 15 minutes

Next, we apply a developing layer.

As a developer, we use a cherry-colored base, or any other dark for a light soil.

Dry for 30 minutes with infrared drying.

We will overwrite the developing layer first with P800, finish - P1000

The joint remained unnoticed, not seen on the putty. To eliminate it, we take a nitro putty

We will completely overwrite the entire bumper on a wet P1000 and dry it again.

Degrease.Wipe the dust off with a sticky napkin.

We lay the base on the primed area, without focusing on the ground (i.e. each subsequent layer overlaps the previous one by 5-10 cm). In our case, three layers were enough (2 - "gloss", 1 - "dry").

After holding for 20-30 minutes, cover the entire part with 2 layers of varnish.

Cool!)

you can also use a mesh from the air filter for the classics instead of staples for the stapler. I did this to myself, fused it with a soldering iron)

take pictures with nets! very interesting how it looks

I'm sorry, but when I did mine, unfortunately, I didn't take a picture (it's just everything, I took a mesh from the air filter, to mine from a VAZ 2104, and to reinforce it just as wide as it is, I melted it neatly with a 100-watt soldering iron beforehand, someone else fixes a piece of the bumper so that it was even And on top, I also glued fiberglass on epoxy for strength. There are no such reports in full, look at the search)

Original, of course, and the result is impressive - respect to the author.

But precisely in terms of “garage” repairs, since this is not the case for professional repairs.

When soldering and using foreign material, the plastic becomes brittle. Correctly - use plastic electrodes of your own type of plastic for welding.

Here, for example, there is a video clip about it.
But this is provided the appropriate equipment is available, and it is not cheap.

Required tools:

• flat screwdriver
• socket wrench 10

Before starting work, it is advisable to rinse with water all those surfaces on which the caps fastening the bumper are located - then the procedure for removing them will become easier.

You should remember the location of the caps, where each one stands, because they all differ in length and diameter.

1. You can start with the caps on the wheel arch liners. They look like cogs, but there is no point in twisting them. It is recommended to take a thin screwdriver and pry out their "caps" with it. The self-tapping screw hidden behind the wheel arch liner has a mark in the form of an arrow.
   
2. To be able to bend the wheel arch liner without any problems, you need to pull out another piston.
   
3. Take the key for 10, bend the fender liner and unscrew the screw.
   
4. Repeat all these steps from the opposite side.
5. Next, kneel down and get 3 pistons on the left of the front boot.
   
6. Then pull out 4 pistons on the right.
   
7. Take the key and remove the five bolts in the center of the bumper.
   
8. Use a screwdriver to pry out the plugs in the center of the false grille.
   
9. There will be another 2 bolts by 10 in access - they also need to be unscrewed.
   
10. Get off your knees and open the hood.
11. First, you need to pick out 2 pistons that fix the air intake, and then 4 more pistons that fix the decorative plastic overlay.
    
12. Remove the cover, after which such a picture will emerge. Remove 5 more bolts. Everything, the fasteners are completely removed.
    
13. Now you need to rip the side parts of the bumper from their latches.
    
14. For clarity: the edge of the bumper, in the very place where it is fixed with a self-tapping screw, is hooked to the "dowel" by the "ear", so first it should be moved down.
    
15. If there is installed parking sensors, disconnect the sensors, and if headlight washers are installed, disconnect the hose.
16. Complete removal of the bumper is now possible.

Install the bumper in the reverse order.

Particular attention should be paid to the white pins on the bumper, which must go into the eyelets under the headlights, otherwise a huge gap will form between the headlights and the bumper.

REMOVAL, DISASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF BUMPER

Mitsubishi Lancer 10. Removing, disassembling and installing front bumper

1. Remove the air filter (see "Removing and installing the air filter", page 115).

2. Remove the front wheel arches (see "Removing and installing wheel mud flaps and wheel arches", page 227).

Tuning Lancer 10 is carried out by many owners of this car.Today, modernized models of this machine are found on the streets more and more often. This should not be surprising. Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is a modern, reliable car that is in high demand.

Under the influence of the high circulation of this model, almost every owner wants to transform his car, so to speak, to individualize. The easiest way to draw attention to yourself and stand out among the “crowd” is to customize the Lancer 10 with your own hands.

It often happens that a crack appears in the bumper of a car from an impact. In this situation, it is not necessary to immediately contact the salon, where, of course, you will be professionally repaired, however, and you will pay a considerable amount for this. In such a situation, you can try to fix everything yourself. Let's look at how you can "bring" your bumper back to life without resorting to the services of a workshop.

Today we will try together to carry out a kind of tuning of the Lancer 10 bumper with such damage as in the photo:

We need the following materials:

• Fast drying epoxy adhesive (Poxipol type);
• Serpyanka tape (construction);
• Plain masking tape;
• Alcohol, white spirit or any other degreasing liquid that is neutral to paintwork and plastic;
• Metal mesh (suitable from an old air filter used in domestic cars).

You will also need such tools:

• Soldering iron working at 60-80 W;
• Flat screwdriver;
• Knife;
• Metal scissors or side cutters;
• Hammer.

You can use a metal mesh with a mesh size of about 5 mm.

It is necessary to cut the mesh into strips, the width of which is 2 - 2.5 cm. The "diamonds" should be pulled out as shown in the photo. In this case, the strip will become easier to bend, and will also show itself to be harder to break the seam. You need to level it with a hammer.

First you need to wash and remove the bumper. How to do it?

1. It is necessary to unscrew the nuts and get the caps from the lower skirt of the bumper (the necessary ones are marked in the picture with green circles);
2. You should also pull out 2 pistons each with one screw, which are located in the wheel arch (those that attach the fender liner to the bumper should be removed, there is one bolt in the corner of the bumper).
3. Then we turn to the air ducts and the decorative panel in front of the bumper, which also need to be removed (in the photo you can see the marked caps). Gently unscrew the screws and two pistons and then pull up the air duct, then take out the rest of the pistons and with force pull the decorative engine cover to the side.
4. Fasten the bumper in the upper part with five bolts, they need to be tightened. There are two bolts in the center of the grill, which are hidden in the lower grill under the plugs.
5. Now you should grab the edge of the bumper near the wing arch and rip it off the latches.
6. NOTE: if there is a wiring for the fog lights, it must first be unfastened from the special white clips, and also remove the terminal, which is located in the area of ​​the "MMC" emblem.

The bumper has been removed, now you also need to wash the inside of it in the area of ​​the crack.

Outside, you should fix the correct position of the part that is damaged with masking tape.

A strip of mesh should be applied to the crack from the inside; it is imperative to adjust it along the length, as well as bending it in the shape of the crack.

Now you can start soldering. This procedure requires patience and accuracy.

The mesh should be heated with a soldering iron tip to such an extent that it melts the plastic and gradually sinks into it. Use a screwdriver to maintain the mesh until the plastic hardens.

It is imperative to monitor the soldering depth, otherwise you can solder the bumper through and through. Do not be afraid, with careful soldering, the outer side will not deform, and the paintwork will not deteriorate.

This is what a completely sealed crack will look like.

With the help of epoxy glue we strengthen our soldering, the layer of glue must be reinforced with a serpentine. Degrease the soldered seam and apply pieces of serpyanka on top, even the option with two layers is suitable.

We dilute the glue as indicated in the instructions, apply it to the serpyanka.

Please note: Poxipol glue crystallizes within two to three minutes, so always keep your eye on it. When the glue dries, it is necessary to remove the seams (masking tape), check the result. You should have a strong seam.

We put the bumper on the car. This must be done carefully, because it can turn out like this: huge slits under the headlights.

The problem is with the white pins sticking out of the bumper. They on their own do not want to get into the special eyes located under the headlights. Therefore, they must be forcibly sent there. Photos will help you figure it out.

Translated from English "tuning" means tuning, revision, improvement. Therefore, it is logical to assume that if some kind of breakdown occurs and we eat to fix it, then we are already tuning it.

Therefore, it will not be superfluous to learn a few "secrets" about replacing the most important parts from the "undercarriage" of the car and, thus, replenish your knowledge of how to help it move in normal mode, without any difficulty.

To begin with, consider the situation with the removal, replacement or modification and installation of the Lancer 10 engine air filter. This does not require a special tool. It is necessary to snap off the two clips (shown in the photo), then push apart the two parts of the filter housing and remove it.

Re-installation: two parts of the body should be joined together - one of the halves goes into the other with special slots. If the filter is installed incorrectly, a gap will remain, and this can lead to dust entering the working area of ​​the engine.

The second variant of possible malfunctions and their correction:

You can start an engine with a fuel injection system as follows: you need to turn on the starter, but you do not need to touch the accelerator pedal. The powertrain control mechanism itself will set the appropriate parameters for starting (fuel supply and ignition timing).

• open the hood. To do this, pull the handle of the lock drive towards you.
• it is necessary to check the oil level with the oil dipstick.
• the indicator should be between the maximum and minimum value.
• carefully inspect the engine compartment, pay attention to smudges of gasoline or oil. The wiring must also be intact.
• drive without closing the hood. Switch on the ignition. At this moment, the fuel pump will turn on. Start the engine and then turn off the ignition.
• perhaps for some reason you have such a problem - spark plugs are "flooded". In this case, use the cylinder purge mode. To this end, press the car accelerator pedal and turn on the starter. In this mode, there is no fuel supply, excess gas will be removed from the cylinders with fresh air, and the spark plugs will be dried. After the end of the purge, you must repeat the start-up attempt in the usual order.

Doing something with your own hands is always interesting and informative. Especially when you are trying for your favorite car. Of course, complex repairs will not work if you are not a specialized specialist. But almost everyone is able to do tuning of your pet. And almost every car, even if you have
charming Lancer 10, you can modify, decorate, improve.

And, as a rule, tuning begins with the "face" of the car, that is, the front bumper of the Mitsubishi Lancer X changes. This means that you will have an interesting procedure for its removal and installation. The operation is not difficult, but it will take care and accuracy, especially if you want to keep the front bumper of the Lancer X intact.

You will need a flat-blade screwdriver, a 10-point socket wrench and, preferably, an assistant. Before starting work, thoroughly wash the car or at least wipe the bumper, removing dirt from the location of the fasteners. This will make it much easier for you to work.

Start with the wheel arch liners. On each side there are three pistons that need to be flipped out, they attach the fender liner to the bumper. Then the fender liner bends down, there is a self-tapping screw under it.

Do the same on the other side.Then we crawl under the bumper and snap off three pistons at the front anther on the left. And after four pistons on the right. Attention! Remember where and which caps you pulled out, so
how they differ in size.

Then remove the five bolts in the center of the bumper.

After that, you can get out from under the car. The next step is to remove the plugs on the radiator grill. They are in the center and hide two bolts at "10", feel free to unscrew them. Then open the hood. There are six pistons that need to be pulled out (do not twist): two air intake pistons and four that secure the plastic cover.

Under the removed trim, you will see five more bolts that are easily accessible. Unscrew them and this will be the last stage of removing the fasteners, now you can safely remove the front on your Mitsubishi Lancer X
bumper. Gently pull off the bumper sidewall latches. Do not forget that the very edge of the bumper (where you unscrewed the self-tapping screw under the wheel arch liner) clings to the "dowel", so you need to move the bumper down. Disconnect hoses and wires, if you have one, and set the removed part to one side. Lancer X front bumper removal is now complete.

Before installing a new or refurbished old bumper, it is best if you rinse the caps with water, so they will much more easily fall into place. Assembly is carried out upside-down. The most difficult installation is the white "pins" that must fit into the holes under the headlights. Otherwise, the bumper will not fit as it should, and there will be a distance between it and the headlight, which obviously will not add beauty to the new look of your car. And so, as we can see, there are no special difficulties either during removal or installation. A little time, accuracy and patience (how many bolts need to be unscrewed) and the bumper, old or damaged) is removed.

And now, finally, everything is done. You can be proud of yourself. After all, after spending an hour or two, you, at least, started tuning your four-wheeled friend with your own hands. You are not going to stop there, but a lot has already been done. If you put the original bumper, then the "face" of your Lancer will already attract attention. And if they simply repaired or installed the original one, then the Japanese returned to himself the traditional "face", which
charming from birth. And, believe me, the car will thank you for your care with a long and reliable service.

Guys, I can't create topics yet, I decided to write here as a closer one, the TS will forgive me.

the situation is as follows, parked and slightly hooked a nearby towering boulder of frozen snow, as a result, the rear bumper from the bottom right along the middle gave a crack and the edges of the seam parted a little (if you bend your head you can see), if you don't notice it from the back, I decided to walk along the seam from the inside with a household glue gun bumpers, the seam stuck with bursting parts, the crack did not go further, but you can still see the crack if you bend over and there is a fear that the seam will increase with vibration from driving.

the question is what is better to do next:
- leave it as it is.
- to carry out body work, with the replacement of the entire bumper or part, or how else?
- maybe someone else solved this problem himself more cunningly, so as not to waste time at the dealer?

After a 10-ka caught up with me at a 30-degree frost at a pedestrian crossing, it was decided to repair the rear bumper and fog lamp on my own. One day was spent on all the work on the removal and installation of the bumper, as well as its repair. Funds were spent only on masking tape.

This method tells how you can bring the bumper into excellent condition with minimal cost without painting it.

Required materials for repair:

• Masking tape
• Fine-grained mesh. I don't know where to get it, I found a suitable stainless steel mesh in the old rubbish at the dacha.
• Soldering iron (75 W or more)

Damage received after the accident:

1. The first step is to remove the rear bumper.

2. Remove the bumper amplifier by unscrewing 7 self-tapping screws:

3. We tighten the crack with masking tape. It is necessary to press the bumper in the gap as tightly as possible, because the result of the work will depend on this.

4.Next, you need to cut the mesh into small pieces with a side size of about 10x60 mm.

5. Then, from the back of the bumper, press the mesh into the bumper at the cracks to a depth of 1-1.5 mm, so that the mesh completely goes inside:

6. And so we slowly continue walking along the crack to its end:

7. If necessary, you can solder the mesh into the lower bumper mount if it is damaged:

8. After the accident, the mountings of the rear fog lamp broke, so it was decided to also glue them with the same mesh:

9. The result of the work done:

I was completely satisfied with the result, because the crack is not visible at all at a distance of more than 2 meters.

We make repair of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 bumper with painting:

• we use professional Italian equipment MaxMeyer
• fall into color
• the price of bumper repair Mitsubishi Lancer 10 in yuzao is one of the lowest with the same quality
• higher level than that of official dealers
• 15 years of experience (we are at the same address all the time)
• guarantee
• discounts (where can we go without them)

The main material from which the bumper of almost any foreign car is made is plastic. Unlike metal parts of a car, such bumpers do not corrode, but they suffer more in collisions with obstacles and require no less thorough repair. The main damage to the bumper of any foreign-made car:

1) cracks - these are tears in plastic and paintwork
2) gaps - violations of the integrity of the bumper structures as a result of strong stretching
3) dents - various changes in the geometry of the bumper that can occur as a result of heating or mechanical stress
4) scratches - represent significant damage (namely, longitudinal grooves) on the surface of the plastic or paintwork
5) breaks - are through destruction of plastic resulting from mechanical stress

AMC specialists make a reliable and fairly quick repair of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 bumper in the South-Western Administrative District, local and comprehensive restoration, as well as high-quality painting. The degree of damage is determined by diagnostics using the latest equipment.

Models for which we produce the above services:
