Fibreglass will be fine, anyone that says fibre glass will crack obviously didnt do it right. I did one 2 years ago, fibreglass, then thin skim of filler over top, prime, paint, i even scuffed the bumper on a wall and it didnt crack, just took the paint off. Lasted over a year then i sold the car with it on. | |

Make judgements about my car after you have seen it and just in a picture thank you. And on a serious note if you want to also smooth off the number plate recese ( just thought ) some tiger seal | |

And while you're at it, you could paint a straight line along the side of your car. | |

filler or fibre glass is fine if you do it right and wont look bumpy unless your shit at smoothing it down. if you leave it a week it will give it time to sink ( if it will ) after that you can paint it and good as new :thumbs: | |

You can get a special bumper filler that is made especially for plastic. It's made by isopon and its called bumper fill. | |
