Straightening bent AC condenser fins..kinda

I took the bumper off and tried to straighten the AC condenser fins.

It was more or less a failure.

The fins are so thin and incredibly delicate that they would just break with the slightest pressure. I tried a razor blade and then ended up with a tiny pointed tool. Some just had to be torn off to reveal a new layer behind them and it looks real messy.

Overall it was a waste of time I think. Maybe time for a new condenser.
