360 Spider Bumper Removal - repair or replace ???

I'd repair it, buy some 2 part epoxy for less than 50$ with applicator and glue it back together should be good as new, just make sure you put it in the exact same spot as it used to go.

Should need no painting as far as I can tell it's on the inside correct?

If the exterior is damaged sand down the damaged area, apply some plastic filler sand it back to original and have it painted.

 

I hit the curb once , cracked the fiberglass near the skid pads, cracked 3 lips for the small screw but did not loose the side bolt block. I already had plans to repaint the bumper because of all the rock chips .... hmmm... So I checked at 2 places and the price for repair was 1200$ then 800$... finally removed it myself like u did (but without removing the wheels) and took it to the local body shop around the corner. He recreated the lips with alu tins covered with fiberglass, with fine sanding, and new paint according to paint id number ... and the result was fabulous for 350$ !
My opinion: Try to repair like i did at a local guy, nothing to loose, no mechanical risks. Show it to him he may have ways to glue the block and srtrengthen it in place. It may come out nice, .. if not, you will always have the chance to get a new bumper.
Good Luck

Looks like an easy fix KJ.

 

Yup Repair! You should easily be able to achieve a stronger than standard fix and it will be invisible too. I'd probably look to a glass fibre repair. Using that material you can lay fibre over an extended area and build up layer by layer by layer to achieve a really solid well-spread load bearing area. You'll probably need to roughen up the surrounding area in order for adhesive / glass to get a good purchase so be sure to mark the correct position carefully before you do that.

 

I agree...looks like an easy repair.

Go to a body shop materials supplier "jobber" to ask/ buy specific repair material. The material might even include repair directions.

Not knowing the composition of the bumper or the bracket could lead to an incorrect repair material choice.

FWIW....motorcycle shops have "fairing repair" kits that bond plastics.

 

Well done - looks like you've achieved good alignment there.

Just wondering what product was ultimately used for adhesion?

 

Thanks for sharing mate and good to hear it was fixed relatively cheap.

 

Good to know - thanks for that.
