Default 1995 2+2 front bumper cover

Need to patch together the lower edge of the cover, where the po evidently tried to use it to move curbs, parking berms, etc. Any "gotchas" in removing the cover, tricky bits, or ? Or is it better to leave it in place and do some plastic surgery that way ? Damage is not too bad, not really visible....one small crack on the bottom of the l.h. brake air duct is the only thing that can be seen without crawling under.

Leave the bumper on, but if it still has the black panel under it you should take that off. It could have already fallen off.

Get some junkyard bumper plastic scraps to glue in from behind as support. Use this glue:

The undertray is still in place, but is a bit gnarly.....think I am going to use some of the aluminum/aluminium sheets I keep tripping over to make a new one....
