Fitting a bonnet vent?
Right I have a customer car arriving soon, pre chaved up by the owner :/
Anyway one of the things he wants me to sort is the bonnet scoop which he has stuck on and filled the edges to smooth it in......oh dear.
Now I thought about removing the scoop and tigersealing it onto the bonnet and then pop riviting it in place, but what can I use to successfully smooth off the edges of the scoop without it cracking? a bit of tigerseal around the edge as if i was sealing in the bath (thats a DIY tip btw
) or something like Isopan bumper fill?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

hi m8 i am bodywork specialist
there are a random amount of ways 2 do it,all down 2 the way u want 2 do it really
u could drill a hole for the rivits(make sure they sit low down) make sure it is pressed down securely,then get some 'stickerflex' i.e:sealer and run the gun along,then run your finger across it so it is even all the way along,leave it 2 dry overnite,now there will be a gap above the rivet(in the hole u drilled)now skim that over with bodge/bodyfiller smooth it all down and bobs ya uncle
or
make some key marks and fibreglass it in, then skim over the fibreglass with bodge,smooth it all down so it is all even and hey presto
hope u get sorted m8,anymore questions then feel free 2 PM me
