The best way to smooth the number plate recess out is to actually cut that section out then plastic weld in a flush section cut from a donor rear bumper the level out and smooth with ispon body filler. it's a fair bit of work but looks the nuts when done to a decent standard.

Ideal, thanks for the link on that, I've actually got dummy fogs smoked and white fog ducts was just getting an idea of having the white ducts back on without doing it that well on photoshop haha

Car looks amazing mate, decided to give in with the comps?
The BBS' look absolutely mint!

The whites personally drew me in, but that might be too much white?

Red would look awesome

+1,000,000

The car looks amazing as it is, but the red wheels would just push it over the edge.  Also, lose the front number plate, looks amazing.  Want to do it to mine, but I've got the textured bit in it  :sad:

FFS Geo! ORANGE!!!!! I won't stop, OK!?!?!

I filled my recess with pvc foam I have at work, worked really well and it required a lot less filler than normal, would be more than happy to give you as much you need.

Plastic welding is the best way though, we all know the less filler the better!
