COULD stay there if preped and applied VERY well but slight nudge and it will go.

Most of the time though, you're right it will just crack after time.

Maybe, but like i said ive given it a good testing  il think of something else if it does happen

Fibreglass paste is actually not that bad at taking road use, but cracks as soon as you bend the bumper.

Plastic welding isn't too hard though!
