Just done a 15 page or so catch up on this!

Sweet work on the bumper, ignore people criticizing (unless in jest).. I think its awesome that your putting in the time doing something different and then adapting it to suit how YOU want it! Amazing work with the bumper, was slightly confused when I saw you using the plywood though, thought the only way of filling stuff like that was to do plastic welding, but that looks awesome using that as I guess it bends pretty easily into shape and then just a bit of filler over the top to give the exact shape? Either way, its wicked :)

How have you made the plywood stay in place where the indicators/fogs were? (If its filler as you did with the splitter, then cool, I didnt know it was that strong) :)

Yes I used filler to glue in the thin plywood in the fogs/indicator hole. I used thin ply and bent it using the structure behind and a bock of wood. Then heavy tape over the ends to hold it down whilst the filler set. Then I fiberglassed over all of it! Then some filler on top to get it smooth.

And here's how I left it this afternoon




With both fogs surrounds fitted and glassed in.

Just have to do a little light filling and sanding and final paint!

Will a splitter of some kind be attached below that?

Yep!

Was looking at the new headlights yesterday and I need to do some re-wireing.
Also not got a indicator bulb with them just a clear LED bulb. So will either have to tint that or get new bulbs!
