Hey guys, just wanted to know what's the best way to repair a cracked bumper. I have a oem navan bumper that has a crack on bottom right. I know plastic welding it would be the best solution, but I don't know anyone who can plastic weld/has a plastic welder, and don't have the money to have it professionally repaired by a shop. I'd rather do it myself. I know some of you are gonna flame me and say "use the search button", I just need a quick answer from someone who's done it before. Thanks

Get a plastic welder and DIY. They are under $50. You can use the metal mesh to press into the back of the part to stabilize the cracks and then carve out and fill them from the front, then shape and smooth and paint. It's really not difficult to DIY
