Plastic welder...? Could you use a drill, a bunch of cable ties and a tub of fibreglass? Knit them together like the drifters do when they trash their bumpers, fill and sand etc?

yeah but there is a lot of weight hanging on a brittle fibreglass bridge

i dont recommend cable tieing on lips, a mate of mines flew off over the top of my car on the motor way , he was pissed he lost his lip i was happy it missed my car

You may actually be able to solvent-weld bits of bumper together. I used solvent weld when I smoothed over the front "H" badge holes. I bonded some off-cuts of bumper (so the same plastic) on the underside and then filled the holes... stuck pretty damn fast

plastic welders aren't that expensive.........
I would make stuff to ship over to you guys, but the postage would be outrageous.

ITR front lip looks soo much identical to the Type-S lip of the 5G Preludes.
