Thank you for this video man, i’m very glad i came across it. My bumper has been messed up on both sides for almost a year now and I just fixed it in 30 minutes. Your a good man, keep pushing forward!
Can 100% vouch for this fix and method. Had to do it on our 22 not very long after buying due to our driveway angle and it has held up great. I did a mix of this jb weld and gorilla glue and it hasn't been an issue since in well over 6 months. Mine was only passenger side at least so far. I taped mine after putting in the glue from bumper to fender and let it sit most of the day, which seemed to be enough pressure to hold and didn't have to add any outside pressure.
Thank you for this! I had seen this product on some Giulia boards, but wasn't sure if the bond would be so strong it would eat into the plastic or take away the bumper plus some upon another impact. If you run into any aftermarket part that can help prevent further damage, please post! Also, a note on 3M adhesive patches for other owners. They work for a very, very limited time. In extreme heat they just come off. Again, thanks for the video!
We are currently about to release bumper tabs that hold just as well as OEM I have been testing them on my car this month and everything is looking good for release I will post on my IG soon
So I ordered the epoxy ok Amazon and then had a thought- 3M double sided adhesive automotive tape available at any auto parts store. I already had some from another car project. Cleaned the plastic with alcohol and then applied the 3M tape to the clip area and then set the bumper cover over it and pressed firmly. All fixed! The epoxy probably works well too, but if the cover needs to be removed I think the 3M tape will leave less of a mess to deal with.
Not just an Alfa issue. I had a 2001 VW Jetta that had this same issue. Front bumper was just the right height to catch on those concrete parking lot blocks!
Question: If I don't want to use JB Weld on my car, is my only option to replace the bumper entirely? I'd rather save the money if I can, without using this method. I personally just don't like JB Weld. If it means buying a whole new bumper, I'd rather go that route.
Yeah as of right now it’s this or 900 for a bumper plus paint and blending and that’s probably just as much as the bumper. I would easily choose a 15 dollar fix over that and there is zero promise they will get the paint to match as good as they one already on your car.
@@alfamods2.0T Thanks for the quick response. I think I'll just replace the bumper. The paint used on my Giulia is the lipari gray variant. I've used a little bit of the paint of some slight scratches I've gotten over the years, and with proper painting and polishing, it blends in nicely with the rest of the paint and looks new. Maybe I can give a few paint cans to the body shop, or perhaps just paint it myself. Curse that Dennys parking lot curb for causing this to begin with! 😆
Yo bro wanted to ask what maintenance do u recommend past 100k miles turbo new coolant flush done new spark plugs coils fuel injector radiator fuel pump and throttle body I changed since buying the car any rebuy maintenance u recommend thanks bro
I would say you pretty much nailed it, serpentine belt, ZF fluid for the transmission, battery AGM 95ah if still on the factory EFB style. Get multiecuscan
@@alfamods2.0T when you say fluid for transmission not a flush correct just add fluid to the car ? And how would I do that because I heard flushes aren’t good for these cars past 100k miles

Thank you!! I appreciate that there is a better fix coming OEM almost! Will keep yall posted. New video coming out in 1 hr.
Can’t wait man, you got yourself a new lifetime sub!
I happen to have that same issue with my front bumper and was looking for a fix. Thank you for the tip👍🏼

You are 100% correct. I have had 3 bumpers on my giulia. This is actually a great idea❤
There is something special coming soon for us with bumper issues way more like OEM type fix without a new bumper
@@alfamods2.0TI need this info

@@alfamods2.0Twhat's your ig?
Man I couldn’t really see where you was gluing at
@@Cinoliljeff901 just the black support bracket and the back side of the bumper. Actually just do the back side of the bumper

Been doing the tape for months it's temporary
Thanks for the tip! I need to get one for my bumper fascia. BTW, I switched from A6 to Giulia lol😀

Any suggestions on how to close or fix a sunroof that's not closing? 2018 Alfa Romeo
Did you ever try using a bumper clip? I have the same issue in my Giuliano and I’m wondering if there is any other way
Thank you!
How long did it take for the JB weld to set?
I let mine sit at least 3 hours but it’s a lot sooner

Very nice! Better than it hanging
Did the JB weld come with a separate caulk Nozzle ?
The nozzle you can order on Amazon for a few bucks.

@@allseasonmaintenance908 yeah I wouldn’t do a full flush you can change the fluid and not force flush it.
@@alfamods2.0T so basically just drain it and fill it ? Do u know what transmission fluid this car uses ?
@@allseasonmaintenance908alfissimo sells transmission fluid change kits! You can choose from five different brands of fluid!
Are you still able to remove the bumper in case you need to get to fog lights etc
Yes I have done that many many times. I think I removed the bumper and reapplied epoxy at least 7 times when doing the 2024 headlights and fenders.
@@alfamods2.0T it may sound weird but can you do a video of you removing and reattaching it?
@@tiafromvenus980 next time I take it off when I do my GTAM bumper I will.
Yeah, mine is wonky too.
Plastic velcro works better.
Haven’t tried that option so can’t say if it does or doesn’t. Have you tried this option to be able to compare? Maybe make a video on your fix.
nice cars
