[bill]

Thoughts on this please? Can it be repaired or is it new bumper time?

Yes that can be repaired, it could be plastic welded or you can use some epoxy glue and a bit of filler etc.

zip ties.
"quick release" fasteners.

Alternatively, let my main man on products advise you on which adhesive you should look at....

Going to get it plastic welded all being well, not cheap these bumpers!

Zip ties as in drift stitching haha!

If it was an old shagger i would.

Quite interesting vid that, should you need some super sticking power, presume bodywork shops have decent glues.

Bodyshop will be able to repair that no problem. Theres a mega strong trade adhesive/epoxy for stuff like this possibly made by 3m from memory.

Flex tape

Everything can be repaired... To what standard is a different discussion. Those bumpers are pretty cheap though, buy second hand straight one.

This is what I’m hoping

I’ll try and get it repaired, if it’s a decent standard, happy days! If not, new bumper time, there around £300 quid second hand,then I have to find one in the right colour preferably, then it has to be local enough to pick up, there’s only one on ebay at the minute, and that’s in white and 95 miles away, £285 plus £25 postage, plus respray, that’s got to be near £500, it’s a jcw/aero bumper not a bog standard s one.

300 second hand? Serial?

 

[bill]

Only one on at the minute, no idea on serial number I’m afraid.

Edit there’s some numbers on one of the pics, not sure which ones serial number?

 

[Darren S]

I thought @gally was referring to serial as being 'serious'?

Could just be me!

I work for bmw as a Senior ATA Panel Technician. Yes it can be plastic welded, hot stapled, epoxy glued, reinforced with matting behind it .... but... with it being a mounting point with the 30 torx bolt in it the chances are it's going to break off again. Depends on how good of a job you want really. R56 jcw? You got a reg I'll see how much brand new

 

[bill]

don’t need parking sensors









The mrs does?

Much appreciated! Car reg is ym05 wbo r53 cooper s, the bumpers a jcw/aero bumper though, suppose I’d just be happy with it being reinforced at the minute till I source a new/used one, the cracks out of sight when the bonnets shut, just sags a little on that side.
