Default c3 bumper cracks

I have a few small cracks on front/rear bumper. I don"t want to replace this year and paint job is good. I guess I cannot use polyester filler, can I use structural filler like bostik with/without inert filler? Or what is recommended. A 2-3 year fix, max is required. Then new fibreglass ones!

I think you will have to live with them.
When you fix one another will show.
Fixing from the outside will probably look worse than what you have and taking it off to fix could cause the whole thing to fall apart.
Sorry, not much works when they start cracking.

The Tupperware on my two c3's are showing their age just like me. Use polishing compound to make them presentable. My 75 convertible got the truflex treatment when my fingers fell through the last polish. The rubber bumper cars are 40 years old now, so not bad considering?
