The square plastic block has snapped off my GSi bumper, the one that holds on the block attached to hte wing.
AS you can see there is quite a big gap due to this



i've been trying to think of a solution but can't think of anything, as far as i can see it wouldnt be strong enough to just stick something in the bocks place

Any ideas?
