Holes in Bumpers?

Could anyone advise if the plastic bumpers can be repaired or patched?

I have a friend thats got a rear with places for reversing detectors.
He does not want them, or to use them, and so would like to fill them in and level them off.
Any idea if this is possible please.

Regards

We have had cars repaired her with deep scratches and cracks in plastic bumpers.

Even a good bodyshop will have a difficult time with trying to fix those holes, and make it look 1/2 decent. The best thing for your friend to so is to replace the rear bumper. Probably more $$$, but in the long run it will serve him better.

Who on earth needs PDC on a MINI anyway???

I think he was thinking of filler, or something like it, but I reckon it would not Be flexible enough.

They Parking Sensors came with the car but the bumper looks naf with them on.

Thanks for the input
