"Car Bumper repair by old school way"

This video deserves its own thread!

Or... How much is a bumper skin for a 964? - $1665.00 from our host! (Porsche Genuine)

Wow! Has got the skills.

I like the way that machine leaves metal staples in the plastic and has a zig zag point of contact.

That was awesome! I actually have a scooter fairing repair that would work perfect for. I wonder what that tool is that he used to melt the S shaped pieces into the plastic.

Fantastic - I imagine Edd China doing something similar.

I wonder how many shops in the US would tackle a repair in that manner. Seems like here they just want to replace the whole bumper and price accordingly.

Search "Plastic bumper repair hot staples" on Google. Lots of very affordable options.
