I've got this long crack on my front bumper.
However, the gap is very thin so I wonder if it can be glued. Any advice ?

(it looks worse on the pic...If I snap it in, you can barely see from a distance)

You could try to glue it yourself. But if you where to go to a body shop, I think your better off with a new one.

i'd say your better off just replacing it, you could probably glue it like ddragon7 said or maybe use bondo, but even still it probably won't look perfect after its painted

it may be possible to use a plastic weld epoxy from the rear, but im not sure if it will crack or not when installing the bumper back. im gonna have to say no to this. just find a new bumper.

You can fix it up but it wont look good. I had a crack in mine when i bought my car and i fixed it up with rivets temporarily:

I'd try and fix it if I had to....I'd take it off and try with glue and some plastic strips or whatever behind to avoid the 1940s rivited look.

I have to say though man: If you can barely see that at a distance, snapped in or whatever. How did you do it; driving into a practicaly invisible brick wall?

Fiberglass it... or better yet get good at using plastic weld... Look at 3M's line of products they have a huge line of automotive repair products.

with the time its going to take you better off getting a new bumper. Garanteed that it will crack again.

The real answer is how do you want it to look, and how much are you willing to do yourself or let someone else do it. If you got the money just buy a new one and pop it on, if not try a combination of riveting and epoxy.

If you live in southern california don't put the bandaid sticker on your car... I will find it and I will kick it.
