It will still sink. Sorry my man but u need to get to the backside to anchor the repair.
I didn't say leave the holes... I custom paint motorcycles for a living. I wouldn't even try to fill and paint holes if the car was mine and I'm pretty damn good at what I do. The color match on the plugs should be good with white. I'd put them in and give it a month and see how much it bothers me after that. You can use dremel with a tapered stone to grind down the raised edge so the plugs fit nicely against the bumper. It's amazing what people get used to given a little time.
Im going to try them but I'll still probably try repairing it. Like I said if it looks terrible, ill just take it to my body shop and they can fix it properly.
Also, isn't there a special process/product needed to get filler/paint to adhere to plastic bumpers?
My goal isn’t to have it factory perfect, although that’d be nice, I’m just trying to get it less noticeable than plastic plugs or 2 holes. Like I said I’m not going to try blending anything. If I just paint the two holes and small area around them and it looks terrible, I’ll just take it in and let them do it properly. I can’t imagine the paint color will be too different from factory to the touch up paint on a brand new car.
Exactly what I was thinking as for painting, but do you think the same result could be achieved using some kind of automotive plastic filler? I’ve heard regular old bondo doesn’t work great for plastic, so something like that would be closer to an actual plastic bumper piece.
Something like these:
This^^^^^ you must put a patch of some kind from the back first. I used little fiberglass patches, filled in, sanded and had it blended. This was not on my Mach but on a previous SVT Contour.
Yes as I said I’m fine if it’s not perfect. Covers/plugs are not a repair.
