I have 2 ta22 front bumperbars at home .. Does anyone know of a place or a shop that can straighten them or re roll them ??
be a shame to send them to the scrap heap if they can be straightened

I'm also interested in knowing!
A few years ago when I first got my Celica I did find someone in Brisbane that straightens metal bumpers, but I cant remember now

I had an RA23 bumper replaced, but for $200 it would be cheaper to source a nice straight one.
I had alot of trouble getting a '23 bumper, so it was sorta a last resort for me.
TThey did a bloody good job though.

I can get a RA23/RA28 front bumper for you, very good condition, $100. Keep your bumpers. The place the reconditions them is Better Bumpers. There is a warehouse here in Hobart, but they get all the work done in Melbourne from a place of the same name. I am getting some done, and will let you know how they turn out. $209 for the front, $231 for the rear exchange, in Hobart.
They have outlets in all major cities.
Ph 03 62735655
Am I good or what!

Well as I said, there is a place in Brisbane too. Here in Hobart, they have new TA22 bumpers on the shelf.

I already gave prices, look above. They are reconditioned. You need to provide a core, or something for them to work with.

For the last time:
You give them your old bent bumper, they give you a bumper that is like brand new, but it used to be a bent bumper and they re-rolled it and re-chromed it. The bumper they give you may or may no be the exact same bumper you gave them. It depends on what they have in stock. You pay them $200 odd dollars. You don't have to go to Melbourne, as they have a place in every major city. I have given you the phone number, prices and everything.
