someone? even a comment on what they think on the look?

 

looks good =)

from reading the PVW rallte feature looks like they lastic welded a plate over the old holes and then used filler etc to build up a smooth finish

 

i bleev mat-mk3 has done that very job, ask him...

 

Done well it looks the NUTS!!!!! Go for it mate, but check out the body shop you get it done at!!

 

Already have a bodyshop...the guy there has done my front and rear spoilers, and next wed he;s re-spraying the passenger side of the car!

Is that Mat's MK3????

 

Had a look at a pics of his...It isn't his...i think not anyway

 

Mope. Mines a cabriolet. But my bumper looks better because ive taken the line out too so its super smooth!

 

what about a mk3.5 cab front bumper ?

 

That is a cabriolet, its the black westside one on Borbet A's.

 

Its Mine.

Take a look on the Westside site in the folder westside cars fro some more pics.

2 ways of doing it.

1.Plastic weld the holes skim of filler prime and paint

2.The way I did it, was to use wire mesh reinforced with Fibre glass and carbon fibre filler, and then a smooth layer of filler skimed over the top. All finished up with a plastsied primer and paint and laquer to help with flexing.

 

Hmm. just dident look like a cab.

A tip for you is to use the foam expanding stuff that builders use. Stuff that in the holes and fibre glass over it. Filler. Primer. Job done!
