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've allready cut mine out, trying to find someone who will take it on, allthough if i could get my hands on a finished bumper i would do that.

Do you (swrsturbo) know of anybody round are end who can do it?

swrsturbo

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.

swrsturbo

By the way you don't know anyone who has a spare (standard) 90 spec bumper do you?

radiant red

dont know about a bumper mate, bought mine off ebay.
pm me colins number, probably bell him about job.
does colin have a garage in cas?

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

radiant red

just so happens we have a fibre glass kit so i think i will have a go myself.

swrsturbo

Yes he's a sprayer in cas, let me know how u get on if your doing it yourself.

radiant red

yeah will do mate.
