Right iv got a gsi bumper and the two lugs on the edges ( that the front arches cover ) have broken off . I was wondering if anyone had got some ideas for me to repair it. I took it to work to see if they would plastic weld it but they said it would just brake again .

Sorry not very good as describing things btw

Happened to tonnes of people bud! Most people tend to try and make up metal brackets instead!

Hmmm :/ Cant really help on that one im afraid! Probably something like bonding stuff they use for all new cars panels to put them together, dries rock hard and proven as strong as welding!
