Fibreglass bumper repair..?

Hiya,

 

Bought a Supra yesterday - picking it up over the next couple of weeks, will post in the new members area when I get it home and whatnot.

However, it has a bit of damage on the front bumper, a couple of cracks. Does anyone know anywhere down south or midlands with a decent reputation for repairing these kind of things? Don't want to go somewhere that's might just bodge it up!

 

Cheers in advance, will bring a few Haribo to my first meet (I believe this is an acceptable form of currency or bribery within this club? Haha! :sly:

Depending on the damage, it might be worth giving it a go yourself. Small fibreglass repairs are much easier than you may think, and will save you some money.

Last time I repaired a bumper (brand new, damaged in transit), I did the fibreglass repair on the inside of the bumper, filler on the outside, and let the bodyshop smooth it before paint.

 

If the damage is enough to warrant a respray, if its a stock bumper, I'd just try and find a replacement in the right colour. They aren't expensive on here ;)
