    Plastic Bumper Repair

    So, I may have found a local source for my plastic bumpers (weeee)

    Basically, they'd be coming off a friends 316i.. The thing is, they're kinda fucked up and they're broken in some places. It was dark so I couldn't get a really good idea.. but.. it looks like it's the top layer of the bumper..

    So, my question is.. are the plastic bumpers like the metal bumpers that they are lots of different pieces together? Because that way I could just buy the few parts I would need right?

      we have this stuff at work that is a two part mixture, on the box it is called plastic welder, its not a true plastic weld, but is amasing. i have fixed lips, flairs, bumpers, ext. you may be able to find it in a granger catalog, or something to that effect.
