Goldie 2 Posted December 24, 2006 Id ask some of the guys who have already done this but i believe it is a plastic weld job and a bit of fibreglassing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wilkes 0 Posted December 24, 2006 tried the fiberglass/filler a few times and it kept cracking ,plastic welded it in the end then skimmed with filler and its still okay 12 months on Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JBOB 0 Posted December 24, 2006 Plastic welding then a thin skim of filler/fibre glass is the only way to do it properly !!!!! I got a bodyshop to do mine as id probably screw it up but im told that plastic welding is really easy :wink: I know someone who filled the holes of a Mk3 with blocks of wood, god only knows how much filler over the top then varnished the wood that poked out the back of the bumper :roll: :roll: :roll: Only took a week to crack :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
