melted a part of my front bumper (dumb of me)


Recommended Posts

I was removing a very small indentation in my 987 front bumper when I noticed a spot that I though was road debris. I scratched it with my finger and rather quickly discovered that the spot was melted bumper plastic. I will eventually pick up a used bumper but cannot afford one at this time. I am told that there are two types of pliable body putty. Does anyone happen to know the type of material of which the bumper is made (I know it is plastic but one type is of plastic type X and the other is for plastic type Y. I have forgotten the names but the body shop supplier knows them.

I've seen a product where you drill holes just around the affected area, then grind the crease or deformed area to a small crevice/valley. Then you apply a patch behind the area and apply the product. After it cures you can sand and/or apply the special bumper filler if you need to. I can't remember the name of the product but it was specifically for any type of plastic bumpers.
