      Are you happy enough to have it bonded back on and confident of making sure that you don't use excessive bonding mastic so that it oozes over the edges ?

      Once it's bonded back on, the vinyl that you wrap it with will NOT be fully removable due to being sandwiched with mastic between the bumper and the splitter

      Have you thought about just removing the bumper and wrapping it and then cutting it to follow the join line where it attaches to the bumper ?
      Hmm the second line is a valid point id probably snap the thing in half lol

      But then how likely is it ill be abke to remove the bumper and reattatch it on my own? Lol as im guessing its illegal to drive the car without the bumper fixed on

      Driving without a bumper is more than likely a no no by now mate, they've outlawed pretty much everything else so it's a fairly certain to attract the boys in blue

      The bumper itself is easy to remove, you just need a bit of nerve, failing that, you bring it to me
