Really like the plastic welding concept , talking w body shop now and working on a new cover. Appreciate the great assistance

The last body shop I had a bumper repaired at mentioned that plastic welding was on the way out and using very flexible filler/glue was the way forward.

I like the sound of plastic welding better though, sounds more durable.

I've tried to buy parts from them but they don't ship internationally, shame.

Actually, I think they have added international postage! woo

I hv a body shop appointment nxt week. Interested to see what they recommend. Since rear bumper covers appear to be few and far between kinda want to see the potential turn around also. Ill keep thread posted

A guy in a massive Ford backed into my 996 not long after I got it, pushing the bumper cover in several inches just below the driver taillight.

I assumed they would be replacing it, but a local restorer came highly recommended as the San Diego plastics go-to guy, and I was not disappointed. A localized respray on one corner is almost always obvious; mine is damn near imperceptible. I had zero expectation that the results would be this good. This was also one of the few times I am delighted to NOT own a Turbo.

I am not posting an "after" picture because it would look like a perfectly normal black 996 rear bumper cover.

PM name and number of said restorer ? Would to pick his brain on this.
