yeah its a good guide, but plastic welding takes ages and it fucking stinks. Get your self a hot glue gun and some spare plastic to fill in the gaps. glue them in, filler it, sand, prime and spray!!

do you get away with your plate up there?

and the bit i really want to find is how to fill the number plate hole?

alex - I've got a guide that angus (mctangus) did for me as I'm smoothing my bumper soon, ill PM it over too you

To fill the plate you need to plastic weld a plate. Make sure you use the same type of plastic or theres a good chance it won't go very well.

have PM'd you the guide i have but dont know if youll get the pics too, if not let me know and ill bring the laptop up too olivers =D lol

For the plate recess, you can use a piece from an 8v rear bumper.....they have the same lines and are of the same plastic :thumbsup:

Just as Olly said, I used a part of a rear 8v bumper, cut it to size and plastic welded it in, then a bit of filler. Also used more parts of the rear 8v bumper to make plates for the top 2 grills. Took me just under half a day to get it to the primer stage.

Here's a rubbish photo of mine in primer
