Authentic MS bumper repair
 
I picked up an authentic ms front bumper for super cheap because it has some significant damage. Can I repair it with traditional fiberglass/bondo or because it is made of "metton" does that change things? The side clips are also broken... But since it is authentic I thought I would try to save it

I wouldn't hold your breath, that's maybe the 10th time he posted that and then went AWOL

@TeamRX8 is right, haha, i do not come on here enough to follow through with stuff unfortunately. And i really don't want to ship another bumper. I shipped two mazdaspeed bumpers previously and just such a hassle to pack up especially when using greyhound.

Here are some pictures of the damage. This is the only damage you can see from the exterior, there are some cracks around where the reinforcement beam cover is, the corner brackets are broken (though it doesn't affect the fitment) and its missing the center grille.

Here's a picture of it before the damage a couple of months ago.

Unfortunately with the whole country shut down, as an "essential job", i'm ending up doing overtime right now. Lol. PM me an offer and we can talk, The bumper is still on the car right now but planning on removing it in the next week or two and getting some new parts on it. I'm not too fond on getting it shipped but if the offer is right, might be a little worthwhile. Are you close to a grayhound bus stop?

Let me know when you get it off...Thanks
