i bought the aux connector and decided to put it on the handbrake plastic and not thinking i then plugged the jack lead in and put the handbrake down and it hit the jack lead so i have moved it to the glove box,

i then decided to cover it in filler, then decided against it and sanded it all of now its just a mess i did think about painting it if i can get it smooth enough

Yes it's the rear bumper i've got, comes with all the trims and fog/reverse lights which are colour coded too. Asking 50 quid for it plus postage.

I'd try fibreglassing it mate, will be a lot stronger than filler. If you want to post a pic of it then I'll advise you on whats best.

Here's a pic of the bumper

Paint is very good, its off a 4 year old car so don't expect factory fresh but there's no visible marks. Only bad thing is that it will have holes for parking sensors that I dont know if you've got or not?

you no when i buy it and its posted would you be able to put fragile ect on the packaging as it make's me panic a bit as i bought a st spoiler and when it arrived it was snapped in half and there was a clear foot print on the box the fella gave me my money back but he still hasn't got any compensation from them

i really dont want it to happen to the bumper it will make me
im not saying anything against you mate i just thought i would mention it
i dont trust delivery companies any more
