I used a donor bumper I retrieved from the dumpster behind the local Ford dealer.
To fill the reflector ports I discovered that the port had two chamfers ..1/2 of the port was bevelled in one direction, the other half in the opposite direction. I cut a filler piece to match and it snapped right into place. I needed two layers of filler to bring the repair up to proper level.
The washer ports ..I didn't remove much of the washer support. And I managed to slide repair mesh between the support and the bumper. Contrary to the original pics my bumper had sustained quite a bit of a twist when it was damaged and I felt it needed as much reinforcement as possible.
After some discussion I also filled the tow hook port and plan on locating the front lic. plate lower - in front of the grill.
A heat gun was invaluable in carefully returning the fangs to original position and destressing twisted areas.
Thanks again.
