that's not a job for body filler. that's a job for zipties!





oh, and it's never going to look better unless you get a new bumper.

That needs way more then body filler. Even if you happen to have the broken piece you would need to glass it from the back side first. Labor and materials it would be way cheaper just to buy a bumper.

Speaking of making repairs like this. And this isn't even fully broke, just cracked.
