Im smoothing the bumper covers and ed30 splitter on my mk5 gti bumper. Ive done plastic welding before so I know the basics. I need to know what plastic material the bumper is made of (i know it says somewhere on the inside but it has not arrived yet so I cant check!) as the covers I have bought are made from ABS so im not sure if they will blend together properly?
And what is the best body filler for plastic? I have used halfords ISOPON filler which is good for small jobs but not big ones.
Cheers

if the bumper is black on the inside (the raw plastic) it will plastic weld, if it is a yellowy beige colour it will not plastic weld
when smoothing bumpers i use a flexible bumper filler, upol do a good one
