The front spoiler hit the edge of a dip that pulled half of the spoiler off of the car. When removing the rest in order to replace it I noticed several of the tabs that mount the spoiler broke and that they are made as part of the front bumper cover. Having an otherwise front cover I am trying to figure out how to repair the mount. Any solutions other than the obvious epoxy etc? Thx

 

Plastic weld. Even if a few are missing it should hold taught.

 

Bondo also makes a nice DIY flexible bumper repair kit you can pick up an try to fix yourself.

 

I ripped the center 2 tabs off of my fascia driving over a cabinet drawer at 75 mph. I made 2 sst straps that screw to the bottom and support the 2 center tabs.

 

I thought I would have to do the reinforced mounts as in the last post but I found a plastic weld product that JB Weld makes and so far it seems to be working fine. If it breaks again I will probably make the brackets. I'm suprised Porsche took such a fragile approach to something that is routinely damaged.
The one thing I have not fixed yet are the final end mounts where the screws go. I will probably zip it for now but will end of making new pieces to attach the original screws and nut-plate to. Thanks for the ideas folks.

 

Wow, nice job. I like the SS brackets. Spray them black and use the OEM wide flange screws from Porsche (a few cents each) and it would look like it came from the factory!

 

Hi,

did you used PlasticWeld Epoxy Putty or J-B Weld White PlasticWeld for your front bumper repair job?

Thanks.

 

3M makes a great automotive plastic tab repair product. There are several videos avaiable on Youtube showing how to complete the tab repair. Their product allows you to bascially rebuild the tab so it looks like the repair never happened.
