Bumper Filler

[Darren198712]

I was wondering what type of filler do you use on ABS Plastic for the front bumper and rear bumper. my front splitter needs filling because the splitter is not a 100% direct fit

Thanks Darren

You could try normal filler, I used it when repairing my front splitter. Use it sparingly though.

I thorght it might crack if I hit a kerb or what ever so I was wondering is there anything that is flexible so if I kit the kerb it will at least not crack

You actually INTEND to be hitting kerbs! :lol:

Get some 65/70 profile tyres, then you`ll save your splitters & alloys too!

Kerbs was a example I scraped my bumper going down a steep hill at the bottom

you can buy a filler called tupac filler. Its good because its alot more "flexible" than most other filler's, and shouldn't crack or flex. (its designed for that sort of thing)

Usually about 5quid for a small tin

I brought some of this stuff

[Darren198712]

why two threads exactly the same??? surely you'l get the same answer

one is for bumper and one is for metal they are different I think.

one is for bumper and one is for metal they are different I think.

maybe, but the same ebay link in both :roll:

I am getting mixed up. I think I am meant to delete one of them the link for the one on ebay should be metal filler. I asked my body shop and they said you could use it on the bumper ??? and it was that stuff I posted so I am thinking should I use that filler or the bumper filler.
