DarkStryder360 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) Mine is.http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=40463&st=280Bodyshop did mine! I like it because without the plate in the way, it always looks happy Edited April 27, 2011 by DarkStryder360 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ell.s Posted April 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 My bodyshop said it will crack with the amount of time my bumper spends hitting speedbumps I've had to settle for not having them smoothed and just colour coded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStryder360 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Had mine like this for 3/4 years, only cracked a little bit because I got it caught on a spike bump thing and reversed back. And had it this low for 3 years. Must be a rubbishy body shop ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt~black Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Would need to plastic weld them together then use flexible filler should be sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza21 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 anyone got any ideas on how much filler it would take to smooth it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber_Nunny Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 anyone got any ideas on how much filler it would take to smooth it ?You don't want much filler, you want to move the original recess forward, plastic weld it and use as little filler as possible as its heavy and like everyone says above, it can crack.I've got loads of photos of mine being made from a few weeks ago if you wanna see some examples.Ideally you should get a proper bodyshop to do it.
