My bumper is cracked on the edge where it connects to the fender. (See picture below)
 Is there anything that I can use to make it hold? I've talked to a body guy and he told me he doesn't know about anything that can make it hold since this bumper is made out of a special plastic that doesn't crack easily but when it does, there's nothing to do with it.. I'm going to sell it eventually so no tie wrap, I need something subtle. Any ideas? Thanks! |

Bolt it then bog over the bolt. haha... or plastic weld..? not so sure seriously what you could do though. I'd just leave it to be honest man. Theres so much more serious things that id be on the look out for on a car that age

Its is made to fix bumpers,etc.. Can only get at autobody paint/supply store. I use it all the time to fix cracks,etc in bumpers. I used it to mod my St205 splitters (see last page of my project thread) It around 20 and is a 2 part adhesive mix that dries white. Its is sandable and retains flexibility but also strength. You will have to take off bumper to fix properly fyi.. Thanks, gonna look out for that! Or I'll just bring it to a body shop and ask them what they think about the crack. QUOTE (BonzaiCelica @ Sep 22, 2011 - 1:33 PM) i have the same problem to my gt4 bumper but on the opposite side. Going to let a body shop take care of it when the time comes. That sounds the best solution that comes up to my mind. If you ever get an answer come back to me plz!
