Well, I'm back from Miami and I've changed my total mindset on the project. I'm going to restore it to how it shipped from Germany. Is there anyway I can find out what options my car had without COA?? My car had the sticker in the back removed

I had the same problem you have with the broken vertical suports, behind the horizontal louvers. I bought some glue from the paint and body supply store called fusor. I don't remember the number, but it's made for plastic bumpers. Sand the surrounding area with 80 grit sand paper. Sand the paint back about 1/2 in. on either side of the break. I then took a Dremel with sanding drum and beveled the edges of the break a little to create more area for glueing. After sanding and grinding, wipe down with laquer thinner. Apply glue liberally to both surfaces and secure them together; let glue dry. Be aware the glue is a two part system and cures very quickly, so you must work fast. After glue is dry, use 1/8 inch drill bit and a pin vise to drill a hole across the broken section. This is a little trickey as the width of the support is narrow, be patient. Drill through and past the break about 1/2 inch. Cut a piece of 1/8 inch welding rod the length of the hole you just drilled. Mix more glue and apply to the rod and into the hole. Put the rod into the hole. This will strengthen the joint.

If you have any other questions just PM me or use this thread.
Good Luck

Dude if your worried about paying for a bumper you shouldn't even start a restoration. If you think a bumper is expensive you aint seen nothin yet

What I tried to say dude, is that I wanted to know if there was a way of having it fixed before going all out and buying new parts...I guess asking that raised a flag that i must be a cheapass.....

In your statement I don't read anything relating to the work involved just the thickness of your wallet. For a guy that hangs out with friends that drive Ferrari's I would expect different


I don't know how I ended up here Must be cause I'm italian

Not to mention the 4.3 million dollar worth of cars you posted pictures with.
