Cripes.

Guys. Seriously?? That’s a photoshop mock up I’ve done to scale with the car.

If it helps, please ignore the attached images and help me bond/attach a plastic panel to a steel panel, albeit with a layer of filler over it. I’m just looking for a product, would a silicon adhesive work?

I AM NOT A TROLL. This project has been a massive job getting it where it is and would really appreciate some help.

TIger Seal with the aid of some self tappers?

That’s what I was thinking. Maybe some bridge filler to blend it into the existing panel too.

Thanks for the help

Tiger Seal will bond it and it'll be almost impossible to get it off, however...
If you try and blend/fill the join it'll crack, metal and flexible plastic (the bumper) will expand/contract at different rates and after a couple of months the filler will crack. You're better to try and not hide the joint, maybe use a thin rubber bead to make it look tidy.

Thanks for the tips, I was worrying that it would flex and then inevitably crack the filler.. thanks again for the help
