repairing a bumper

Someone who previously owned our project car drilled into the bumper to put non original plate lights on.
Can the bumper be repaired?
cheers

Yes. it could be repaired but at a great expense. ie chrome removed a plate welded into the holes and the whole bumper re chromed. I estimate this would cost you somewhere in region of £250-£300. It would be cheaper to source a replacement bumper..
The holes could be "filled" with new bumper bolts but would look odd.
Sorry this is not very helpful but unless you know someone "in the business i would not know what to suggest.

thanks for the reply,
I'll try and get a replacement, although they seem very hard to get hold of!
cheers

Keep an eye on Ebay. They do come up once in a while.

I was quoted £800 to re-chrome my two bumpers six months ago, and that's not including the repair to two holes.

My rear bumper has a nasty looking rust hole handily hidden by the over-rider. Also there is a machine pressed hole that has been guessed to be for a reversing light.

£35/foot was the going rate this time last year just for re chrome.
