Your rust spot and bumper crack are identical to mine.

They're not imperfections, they're opportunities! ;)

I imagine that crack will be a nightmare to fix because of where it is - I think it'll keep re-cracking.

...but I'm probably wrong :lol:

Plastic welding would do the trick. I need to find me one of those actually :?

Gutted. I binned an almost perfect 4th gen bumper because of a similar crack that I was told would always reappear if the bumper ever got knocked due to its location :(

But then you'd like to think that your bumper wouldn't get knocked again anyway ;-)

Yep. Plastic weld reinforce and fill. The rust returned on my bootlid. Very early stages on the lock.

Thanks for the advice Ratty, shame I didn't live closer as I'd just have yourself do it as its the only 3 bits that let the car down but there not major luckily.
