Default finshing a 90 spec

Just finished chopping up my 90 spec front bumper ( cutting the middle out for grs ) what i want to know is, how do the body shops cover the foam bit now exposed after cutting.
Can filler be applied?
plastic piece moulded in?

Maybe fibreglass? I've wondered how they do it myself, I've been trying to drop on a cheap cutout bumper.

I don't know anyone who specialises in figreglassing as such, I do know a sprayer colin in castleford whos done quite a few jobs for me on vans and cars, and by all accounts he is ok at fitting bodykits too, he's also cheap, i've tried to ring him for you but i cant get hold of him, also there is apparently a lad near ossett who did my mate bren's car (astraturbo.com) Stuart his name is, but i dont have a no. for him. if you want the no. for colin email or summat and i'll send it to you.

i'm doing the same thing these days, only with a pre-90-spec bumber

i have now made up 2 fibreglass-plates that i will cut to mach the open holes on the bumber, and mount them with some fibreglass...

i've work a lot with fibreglass earlier, and have good results with this

i think this is the way to go
