Title: couple questions on bumpers
Post by: kidger-gti on 26 September 2011, 17:35

basically im thinking about getting a front and rear bumper and smoothing the insert out and also planning on putting the anniversary bits on

so im wondering is best way to do the bumper by plastic welding then skimming filler over it ? (read some where that fibre glass is a no no ?)

also how much would a front and rear bumper cost me just second hand or what not ?

and finally how much would anniversary parts cost me ?


cheers james.

ide plastic weld, then sand it down and keep plastic welding and sanding untill you have a smooth surface then get it sprayed.

fiberglas ect wil just snap as soon as you knok the bumper off a curb or something

Avoid using too much filler it will end up cracking and failing out.
