Small damage old car

Showing off ? To wife in snow hit a tree
Not worth a replacement bumper
Will buy a new fender trim

The bumper face plastic though .... some plastic weld epoxy glue or actual plastic heat gun ? Won't paint it.... just to make it less obvious and hold in place .

I have seen these hot staples used for bumper repair. It seems like a strong joint.

Cool I have some of those for a kayak repair just wasn't sure if plastic Bondo glue would be better for this

I wouldn't trust staples. Where it's cracked at the top, you need to weld a strip or two across it. That's a high stress area. Ideal is to weld from both sides.

Lol. Im from Australia (no snow) and even though I've been living here for 16 years ...... 10 have been in FL. So she was freaking out about the snow and I said its not even slippery going down our steep drive ...... lost traction and into the tree in ditch.
Lesson learned for both of us I guess.
Funny/not funny.
