ok any thoughts? i was thinking about trying to fiber glass the hole to make it look like a ftp hole when the lens is removed. angling it up or down you know, butr i dont know how sturdy that would end up being.

Thats pretty much all you can do. Might aswell look for a new one.

Bondo and fiberglass would not have the flexibility that bumper has. During a little bump (like not seeing the trash can and bumping into it) Bondo could crack and fiber glass may crack (where you join it to the bumper), I dont know.

You'd just have to sand the back with some 36 grit or something, and clean it well to get a good bond...

search the term "plastic welding" or "weld plastic" in a google type engine. you will find out that you can take a sheet of plastic, cut it to size, and weld it from behind, then fill the front to make a plastic patch. not sure what these bumpers are made out of though.(mine didn't have any bumpers on it when i got it) but that would be the best way to go.
hope that helps,
