i know how u feel, i have now had 2 font bumpers, 5 cracks and i just got another on front and back, plus its been all smoothed ito bodywork and its a nightmare to keep crack free.

nah, just use fibreglass matting on the back. then sand it and fill it.

they need to be drilled at both ends to stop them from spreading then grinded out and filled over m8. if u need it fixed then ull need to smooth over the damage with f/glass if there broke thro or if there really deep etc. if there not to bad then it just needs filled with isopon. then needs bumper rubbed down and painted. u might be able to get away with just painting half the bumper but personally id paint it all

last night i drove over a kurb, didn't relise how high it was and cracked my front bumper, don't know if fibre glass is crack or just the paint!!!!

what can i do just to cover it up, does the whole bumper need to be rubbed down and primed, then re-sprayed:boggle:

i got the touch up brush on it this morning, which covered all the scraps:D

cheers:thumbs:
