Can it be fixed? If not, where is the best place to buy a replacement rear bumper?

Thanks,

I've seen kits where you melt plastic into the damage with a heated spatula, but haven't used them myself. I'd probably make a messy gob of plastic & end up with an ugly repair, requiring a lot of sanding & finishing. Have a go at it & let us know - I'd be interested to know how difficult it is. I don't think it can do any further damage to prevent replacing the bumper skin.

 

Given my current situation, it may be worth trying. If it doesn't work I am still in the same boat. If it does work it will save me 1K.

Thanks for the suggestion,

Al

 

I think it'll be easy to make a functional repair. It'll be difficult to make a perfect (cosmetically invisible) repair. I've done something similar with bondo but its not flexible so I wish I had known about those kits at the time.
