    I fractured the front bumper on my VZ (hit a herd of pigs).
    While I was in Melbourne, I went to Knox Plastic Welding, who repaired it for $100.
    I got paint matched at Autobarn for $30 (300ml, I think, in a spray can).
    My brother-in-law did the spray job.
    That was over a year ago: no problems since.
