What filament?

Is this concerning a mobile vehicle commonly used on the road?
If so, I strongly advise you to verify all the necessary authorizations with your insurance provider.
I mention this because, a few years ago, I ventured into the 'remanufacturing' of broken items and received numerous requests from owners of motorhomes, cars, vans, motorcycles, and similar vehicles.
I was confident these requests would lead to success.
Unfortunately, the regulations in my country are so stringent that proceeding without risking heavy fines is virtually impossible if an insurer can prove that a 3D-printed part was present in a vehicle involved in an accident.
In my case, I was only granted permission to 3D print parts for non-operational vehicles, such as museum pieces.
If in your country the laws are more lenient, I would recommend printing in ABS, given its favorable mechanical properties.
However, be sure to use a proper safety vacuum exhaust system to capture and remove the chemical dust and vapors that are released during the 3D printing process.
Regarding the infill, I'm not entirely sure if the part you are printing requires a substantial thickness.
If it does, an infill density of around 25% might be sufficientbut keep in mind this is a general guideline that may need to be adjusted based on the specific design and load requirements of your part.
Good luck in your project.

A front bumper? Like, a real world bumper for an actual car?
My brother in christ, you're not going to 3D print one, you're probably going to cast one
