over the easter weekend i decided to smooth my rear bumper in, as im in UK we have fog lights build into the rear bumper. But after the accident they got smashed so I replaced them with ali plate and LEDs. But It wasnt really the best finish in the worlkd and the bumper still had some cracks in. So I filled them up and painted it


stock:



ali plates:



fibreglass reinforced filler:



top skim:



primer:



paint:



finished bumper :

 

Looks good man, Like it was never there.

How long did it take you?

 

looking good!!

 

awesome work. it looks nice

 

looks great

 

i take it international shipping was too expensive for a usdm bumper? and what sort of exhaust is that, it looks like the fart cans i see on just about every car around here

 

thanks guys, it took about 10 hours or so. I knew I couldn't rush this one because it must look good, as everyone sees the rear

Did all the filler works one day and then the final skim the second then primer and a couple of hours to dry before the top coat.

hahaha Microkid, they are FART cans as you would call them

but are basicaly like cherry bomb mufflers, they are straight through 2.5 inch with 3 inch tip. So essentailly I have no mufflers.

Oh, and shipping a bumper is a NO NO way expensive, I actually have a red US bumper already but it has a big kink in the left side and no mounting brakets, pluss the side lamps are gone and I have no wires for them, so would have had to fill them up, and the number plate is a different size. This one only cost about £20 as a frind go tme the paint and all I had to buy was filler

 

hey maudy lookn good there! you should come help me fix mine.. just kiddn.

got the clip, gunna take the car over to the shop this week n start making Frankenstein-mobile

 

that's pretty slick. I like. I think you should get some USDM mirrors as well.

 

I bet you could have sold that bumper for a small fortune..guys go nuts for that export stuff...
