    Hi guys
    One of the clips that my external bumper clips onto on the inner body work has been damaged slightly and Im trying to come up with a permanent fix. Dont want vibrations make it worse.
    Ive taken the bumper and unclipped it for now and it just looks like simple white plastic. I tried using UltraLoc Super Glue, but for some reason it doesnt seem to want to work or stick. Any suggestions on better options of glue or something else?

    Wouldn't bother trying to repair it - just get a new clip

    Unfortunately thats not really an option. That white plastic (that Im trying to fix) is part of a one piece that stretches the width of the car with clips.

    Superglue and bread soda. Not sure it will be strong enough for bumper esp if it gets a bump but it is definitely stronger that superglue alone.
