Im hoping this has happend to someone on here before.
Basicly at the side of the bumper you have te little sqaure things that push into a bracket on the wing of the car -
But one have mine has snapped, not completly but it doesnt support the bumper now it just comes out the bracket, leaving a gap like so -
And..
(Ignore missing arch haha)
Ive tried sealing the square back up using v strong stuff but doesnt seem to work
Anybody got any ideas or things that they did to bodge the bumper back on straight and fitting properly?

Well the sqaure thing is still attached as you can see in a pic its just v v weak so it bends when pushed in and so doesnt stay in the bracket.
Ive tried using araldite from b&q v stong and it seemed to work at one point but then it just came loose.
I can push the bumper into place using force but then when you let go it like pops back out, i cant think of anything to make it stay in as theres not much you can do with bumper on, and when its off the only thing to mess with really is that sqaure thing.

Nahh i cant get behind the wing you can only access bracket when bumper is off
And as for fibre glassing, i dont think im that skillfull to do that tbh 
Id rather take it to a bodyshop and see if they could do it.

if you fibreglass onto plastic the resin eats the plastic so you got to be very carefull.
