Greetings to all,
Just got my VX two days ago – 2001 Ironman with 18K on it. Fell in love at the first test drive (truth be told, probably well before that . . . ). A hearty thanks to all who run this place – I’ve learned a whole lot already!
Now the bad news – as (my) luck would have it, some moron put a dimple in my rear bumper cladding the day after I got it. Arrgh!!! Bump-and-run in the parking lot. No actual structural damage, just an irritating vertical dimple in the cladding over the little round red light on the passenger side. Anybody know if there is a way to pop that out (perhaps using a heat-gun from behind so as not to screw up the texture, then a gentle push?), or is it time to order a new piece? If so, where would you recommend I go, how hard is the part to get, and how much do you think it will cost (I’ll install it myself, of course)? Can’t have my new baby looking than way . . .
Thanks,
Ron
