Default mini sprint front bumper

Anyone have an idea for a replacement for the mini sprints front bumper. The stock piece broke really quick and I don't want to keep buying something that I know will breaak. I am also trying to stayas close to the width of the chassis. This would exclude the tbone bumper I found.

Thanks

Default bumper

Ok where the bumper broke off drill 2 2mm holes then get a black antenna tube and some 2.5mm rod piano wire and put it into the tube bend it to the shape of the front bumper and cut to size leaving 5mm of rod to push into the holes.
We have around 25 s=mini sprints that have all broken and this how we fix it and it looks stock and it doe`s bend but bends back ,hope that helps.

i did basically the same thing but reused the stock bumper. drill two holes ware it used to be and two piloit holes in the bumper and put small screws in it from the inside. have to remove the front end peace to do this. but i do like the other idea to i was wondering what to do after i break it again, but i am now making vacuum formed bodies for these cars and make a nose peace that sticks out the same as the bumper so it helps absorb the impact. and looks cool. have 3 dif. hood molds and a sun visor mold. will be putting up pics soon. or can send them to cell phone. pm me your number if u want to see them.
