Hybrid Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Depends what colour you car is, and if you have bump strips? if you do then it will be easy to blend from them but if you don’t then Jamie is correct, will be a whole door job...maybe not front wing too... but all depends really.Also, the recess would need smoothing and filling and spraying, which isn’t really a DIY job, unless you’ve got the kit/space/knowledge?Will look sweet though, smooth as a baby's ass style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumbsup:" border="0" alt="thumbsup.gif" /> Anf.

lupodave Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 dean, that's a crackin job mate, well done.As for all the smoothing, why mould the bumpers into the body work?? What happens if you get a front or rear end shunt, cracks the whole paintwork and all of a sudden its not only the bumper you've got to replace. Deffo smooth the bumpers individually though and the line down the side but smoothing them into the body is a little too extreme and a bit stoopid IMO.
