i would get an old bumper mate cut out some bits the size of the foam holes, cut more of the foam out then mate them together with some ispon or filler mate and see how it comes out.

ahhh right i get ya yeah that would work although i never thought about that. if i just pulled some of the foam out and fillered over the top the filler would fall out but that would really work , cheers mate , thanx very much.
