Bob Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Is this possible? I ask because i'm not particularly keen on the later style side indicators for the front bumper, which unfortunately the Stillen front has holes for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldy Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 they can be plastic welded and basically filled with filler rod,would need some normal plastic filler to finish then paint or you could fibreglass the holes from behind then fill would be a cheaper option(probably the route i would take to be honest) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Yes it can m8 - been done before But TBH the side indicators do look good IMHO once on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Theres some urethane/plastics that Fiberglas wont stick to, so it might be a good idea to try a test patch first! let it harden and then flex the bumper and see if it cracks away.

rik Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 When i worked for a custom painters doing bikes, we had a plastic welding kit for repairing dmaged fairings which are the same material i think! Basically a kind of blowtorch and plastic rods. If you could find somewhere that has one, they probably wouldnt want much to do it. But i would say some of the other options mentioned would do the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
