Re: '90 Cabby Bumper Cover Repair

I can check if you just need the bumper skin I can probably see if mine is 
still kicking around, faded in parts grey, but nothing that a good 
sanding/painting would not dismiss as new . no damage to it...

let me know.

Any tips on repairing a plastic bumper cover?  The center of the front 
bumper is pushed in far enough that the A/C condenser came within about a 
1/16 of an inch of being damaged.  I can take off the bumper, fix the damage 
behind it, and straighten out the metal part of the bumper, but what about 
the cover?  I'm tempted to heat it with a hair dryer and pop it back to its 
original shape, sand and/or bondo it to take care of the small stuff, and 
re-paint it.  Is this a good approach?

At first, I thought I would replace the cover, but they are $450 from the 
dealer, $650 from the one after market source I found, and very scarce at 
junkyards.

I didn't wreck the car, the PO rear ended a car with a wheel chair carried 
on the back bumper.
