(More customer reviews)I bought this plastic welder to try to repair the bumper cover on my mercedes e55. my bumper was torn about 18" running horizontally across the bottom of the bumper and my fog light housing was cracked from top to bottom. my bumper was in bad shape. the body shop wanted $600 to repair and repaint the bumper and wouldn't guarantee their repair and bondo. they wanted to rivot a piece of sheetmetal or hard plastic to the rip and use filler to smooth it out. i actually didnt have to use any kind of filler, i melted extra plastic and shaved the excess down.... the mercedes dealer wanted $1200 for a new bumper cover and then painting it was extra... i decided to take a chance and repair it myself. i watched the dvd and scanned the book real quick and got to work. i had my dremel tool ready, shaved and cleaned the edges as per instructions. i used strips of that stainless steel mesh and the long plastic melting rods, melted it into the plastic and sanded the excess plastic off to blend into the bumpers finish..once the joints cooled off i pulled and twisted the repair and it was very very strong, actually i was amazed how it fused the plastic back to its original shape...i then took my bumper to a body shop to have it sanded and painted, the body shop guy charged me $250 for the paint job. i know to some people it might seem stupid that i did all that work to save $100 or $200. but i know the repair on my bumper is very strong and i highly doubt it would break on that location again. my time invested was really for the piece of mind. ohh, i also made new mounting tabs for my foglights and they are now sitting very tight.. i rated this kit 5 stars because it exceeded my expectations and i would recommend it to any hobbyist or professional.. good luck, Hus.
