How to shave emblems off a DC2 bumper?
I asked this before, but didn't get the chance to shave them. I searched for the old thread, but can't find it.
The front bumper is not metal, so welding isn't an option. What do I use to fill the holes left in the bumper?

If the bumper is urethane I would use a plastic bumper repair adhesive to fill the holes and have the adhesive overfill the holes a little bit and sand it down till it ends up flush and I would try to stay away from any bondo because the bondow and urethane will contract and expand at different temps and rates causing the paint to eventually crack .Hope this helps

I've used something to fix my front lip when it was cracked. It's a "Black Flexible Part & Bumper Repair Kit". It worked great on my lip. Will this work?

well I dont know the exact product but the bodyshop stuff I used to use worked great that stuff sounds similar it should work if you do this yourself take your time and dont rush it thats what usually causes you problems when it comes to sanding it flat because once you sand a low spot on the bumper then your f#cked so take it easy do a little at a time!

The stuff I have is a Two part misture. A Epoxy Resin, and Epoxy Hardener. I used it when fixing my lip and loved it.
