waynos 0 Posted May 10, 2007 update time! ive been very busy lately, but i have done a few things to the car, firstly i got an rs bumper extension and bonded then smoothed it into a secondhand bumper i got off ebay for a tenner, heres a few pics of the work in progress (sorry if the pics are on the large side, i have no idea how to resize them) the secondhand bumper, had to cut the bottom part off otherwise it would be seen thru the new extension. also keyed it up nicely with some rough sandpaper so the adhesive had something to grab heres the bumper with the new section bonded on. i used plastic bumper filler to blend the two then p38 and some fine filler past to get rid of the imperfections here its is before priming with all the filler work finished here it is in white high build primer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
