smoothing....being a cheeky bugger..wrong section i know lol

Post by shantybeater »

calling all people with smoothed bumpers,I really want this done now after seeing a smoothed ibiza, makes it look like a mini leon cupra R...

so how much would i be looking to pay?

whats the best method of 'filling'? what do you recommend? what do you advise against?

the problem on the cupra is there are holes behind the bump strips on the bumper...could this cause a problem?

not too sure but what i think they would do is cut the bits sticking out and then plastic weld the holes, then sand down and then fibreglass/filler?

so the holes shouldn't be a problem
