Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All, Long story short, I bought a 997.2 front bumper to update (facelift) the look of my 997.1. The new (fully plastic) bumper needs some repairs - some gluing/welding and some resurfacing as it is a bit "wavy" in some parts. Would anyone recommend a good place in the Melbourne area for such a job? Basically a bumper repair place, someone who would specialise in plastic repair and welding... Thanks for your heads up!

Thanks mate. What kind of experience do you have with them? What did they fix? Happy with the job I guess?

POST 4Original post

If your up to doing the repair yourself http://www.henkel-adhesives.com.au/teroson-solutions-7682.htm This is what the auto body place will use. No welding, its an epoxy type stuff for polyurethene & other plastics. Good video on how to do it. Shows how to reinforce your repair. Line up all your small plastic repairs & try to do it in one go. Warning: it goes off quick! Then you just need to paint it.

Thanks for the great tip. Actually the work is twofold - there is a bit of welding/gluing involved but also some work in the surface which is not cracked but "wavy". I could probably tackle the first aspect myself with those products, but probably not the second...

I have a panel shop in which i use them for re-conditioned bumper bars or to fix the bumper that i have.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 238920

So do you generally give them the bumper alone for repair, or give them the car with the bumper bar to be repaired?

POST 8Original post

Just the bumper bar. They won't take a car. All they work on is plastic b/bars and the other side to their business which is re-doing chrome work.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 238973

Awesome mate, that's exactly what I need! A few more questions, if I may... - Is he good at resurfacing "wavy" sections? With your experience, how good are the results? - How is he priced, generally? Many many thanks...

POST 10Original post

He shouldn't have any dramas with resurfacing wavy sections. I would be very careful baking the part in a spray oven when painting as it could return back to wavy. Generally his bumper bars are priced as per model and not generally what is required doing to it.
