[Darlz]

[AshC]

I prefer smoothed ones but each to there own..

[Joe]

Smooth them over IMO

[craig180]

I widemouthed mine then meshed the fogs and mouth

Also smoothed the bottom lip and line across the number plate recess to be slightly different

[VTR_Steve]

Smooth over imo m8 :D

[Ryan_]

Smooth :y:

[Darlz]

please post pics so i can decide which route to take

[saxomad197]

leave youre fogs in you might need them if it fogy. it weakens the bumper just saying not being a bore. dimma do a widemouth bumper. 250 new prob loads on ebay second hand

[jaytay]

defo smooth dont want to much going on

[kc-saxo]

keep the fogs and spray them yellow

[mirrorblanks]

smooth

[Darlz]

i havnt actualy got fog lights i just meant where they would be.

[Caino]

smooth

[Darlz]

smooth it is . Is there a guide on here for smoothing them over ? cant see it being too dificult but just want to make sure i do it right

[Luke-saxo]

in your 1.1 bumper they have the blanking plates stuck into the bumper so just smooth using filler

[Road-Runner]

Smothing would look so much better than messing imo :)

get some mesh, fit it over back and bend over and around to back of bumper, tigerseal it on

[mirrorblanks]

lmao do people not read! all he had to do was atleast read the post above his lol

[philb121]

haha idiots

[streetwize]

i there anywhere i can buy a bumper like that, with the number plate bit like that? or will i have to do it all myself?

[Dano]

Its a DIY jobby, thats the standard bumper, cut the slats out, fiberglass and filler smooth, sand, primer, and paint

you cant really just filler it, coz filler cracks easy and looks shite.

its a tricky jobs and takes some minor skills and time.

[Saxo_Seann]

this is mine so far, took me 6 hours to get it all fibrglassed and filled, worthwhile though

[Saxo_Seann]

oops forgot pic
