Do you have to have a 90 spec front bumper for a big mouth cut out???

Thanks,

Jim

So you just cut the two sides away and at the bottom then do you fibre glass where you have cut away? Or just use body filler? or both?

Thanks,

James.

When you have done the cutting what is the best way to finishs it off??

Car body filler ??? Do you have to fibre glass first where u have cut??
