My Jaguar has a hole in the front bumber, its roughly 4 x 1 inch. I am not 100% sure what the bumper is made of, some kind of plastic or fibreglass. Looking at the picture, can anyone advise me on what I can buy to repair this hole.  |

Isopon Bumper Fill is a flexible filler for plastic bumpers. www.halfords.com/motoring-travel/cleaning-body-repair/fillers-preparation/davids-isopon-bumper-filler-100mlYours looks like some kind of a foam composite. I repaired something similar using glass mat to reinforce it (make sure the resin doesn't react with whatever your bumper is made of though*) - then bumper filler over the top. I've used it on boat hulls as well where they need to flex slightly and it works well. *if the resin reacts with the stuff your bumper is made of you could try using waterproof PVA, I use bandage soaked in PVA on model aircraft to reinforce foam wing joints and it's surprisingly robust once it's set. |

Thanks, I didn't realise there would be a specific product just for bumpers. I'll go from the inside and make some sort of patch to reinforce it from the back then get some bumper filler to go over and fill it.

Did you look into the possibility of finding a replacement bumper? Plenty of those old jags about.
Don't forget how much the costs stack up after multiple trips to Halfords for filler, paper, paint, ect.. You could get the right bumper delivered from a breaker ready to fit without the hole in it.
