Euro smooth front bumpers

[MrAnderson93]

how smoothed do you want them? like just the rubstrip at the top smoothed and coded or like full on indicators and swage line smoothed?

do it yourself, im smoothing mine as we speak and i have no experience with filler or plastic welding or very much spraying, just look up tutorials on plastic welding (theres a VERY good one on clubpolo by someone who smoothed his 6n 16v bumper but its all the same, just take the ideas and principals off that onto yours)

To get it perfect get a bodyshop to do it. Once its sprayed, you will see how "flat" you have done it. Unless your really an@l about it and spend a couple weeks on it, then no doubt it be as good, if not better than bodyshop.

yes i am that anal and i will spend weeks on it its been about a week already and all ive done is blank off 1 indicator hole and given it a first layer of filler and chucked some filler in the square bit in number plate recess

but if your not as patient (or stupid) as me get some quotes from a few bodyshops or buy a us spec bumper as its pretty much smooth anyway

Needs to be glassfiber really, filler will fall out given time.
