Does this present a problem ?
Long story short I dealt with a member on here and past car club member. we traded, and I got a bumper but just noticed this piece just about to break. Can I apply one of those clays that harden? Is the whole bumper trashed since it is the side marker area.
 ?

Front bumper? Right by the marker? These seem to get damaged commonly. I can't tell for sure where the part is that is in your photo.
Two pieces of fairly thin aluminum, epoxy, and zip ties  The red part is one of the pieces of aluminum. The yellow dots are holes which pass through both al. parts and through holes you drill in the remains of the 'tab' in the bumper. The idea is to sandwich the damaged area with the al. pieces, with epoxy in the middle. Zip ties are passed through the holes and cinched tight. The blue lines are the zip ties  Real good idea to use painter's tape around the edge of the bumper so no epoxy accidentally gets on the outer surface I've suggested this several times and never heard back from anyone, but this will work if done correctly. Your damaged part may be in a different spot but same idea.

The part Chris showed is what broke on mine. I've tried many things to fix it and still nothing has worked. So I'm just getting a new bumper. I don't know if the part on your is crucial dani. Ive never seen it break there.

No problem, but I think my solution doesn't fix that...
There are actually plastic repair and plastic welding kits available. http://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-s-h...ir-system.html http://www.eastwood.com/airless-plas...r-model-6.html Eastwood is pricey for some things though

i actually like Mr twistys idea with the bondo. if it can simply mend those two pieces together it will all be well. as for the piece you had on those pics. i see that broken on almost every bumper.. its a matter of taking good care of it before it is to late and the whole piece breaks.. thanks for the help again chris. i will report back once i try to fix it.
