ive got the roadworthy tm, its a cheap as chips car.
the only problem is the left corner side of the bumper had sagged n can possible hook or scrape someone so i did a cheap job and put a new screw in from the fender wall side (Where the oem screws are in the wheel area) and its gone through to the wheel guard.

so its sorta like the screw has gone through the side edge of the bumper and into the wheel guard and is staying firmly

its nice n deep in the wheel guard, my only question is

will that be acceptable to be roadworthy? i know its a shit job but ive gotta wait for money to pile up again so i can replace parts n what not to get it sittin pretty without the extra screw help.

thanks in advance for quick replies!

is the screw protruding anywhere? or i it screwed into the guard and hidden...

Unless it is a danger to a pedestrian roadworthy will not be impacted
