Default filling the emblem gap on a polyurethane bumper

so im looking to get the nismo v2 front bumper and debadge it. its polyurethane so im not sure what to use because its a bumper that is meant to flex and traditional bondo isnt supposed to flex. the emblem divot is somewhat large so i dont know what material to use for it, most of the fillers ive see are only for small holes or cracks. any input would be great!

Heat gun to work the indent out as far as you can get it then Evercoat Poly-Flex (or similar to fill/sand).

Contact KBD or whomever the manufacturer is and see what they say, its quite a bit more work than just fill and sand.

i called and they said i could use bondo but i also would need a flexible filler, and that a heat gun wouldnt really do that much since it cures when its made. thats why it gets sent folded in half because itll pop back to its original form.
