plastic weld then a skim of filler dont use just fibreglass and filler if you bend the bumper it will most likely fall apart thats what id do anyway you can use fibrglass etc but it would be more prone to cracking

I'm thinking of smoothing my front bumper but leaving the number part as it is. What would I need to use? Or could I just use fiberglass or bodyfiller?

Also what's the best way to smooth the bumper top on a colour coded post 97 bumper?
