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

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.
