the front bumper is part of my body kit and the bumper is moulded on to the wings and it split down both sides and the front of the bumper also cracked.

If you mean you had the bumper flushed into the wings then the reason this cracked along this point was because *no offence* it was a poor job in the first place.

My front bumper and arches are flushed into the wings and I have bottomed it out several times, doing damage to the bumper, but not along the point of flushing

Its prob gonna be quite an expensive job then. flushed wings extend the surface area of the panel meaning this panel now consists of both wings and a front bumper, so this could cost you around £400-£600 just for the paint job, plus whatever they charge for the actual repair and prep work!

If your keeping it, I\'d get it down properly as this smooth styling does look the bollocks. Good luck mate let us know how u get on
