HELP ! 16v bumper recess fill

Featured Replies

hi people...had a quick question..I'm attempting to fill up the numper plate recess on my 16v bumper. Do you think its right screw dwn and stick a number plate dwn before i fill it up, so that it gives a foundation and less filler is used?

Thank You

i see thnks...

deepz I've jus recently done mine i used the old 8v rear bumper cut a section of that and plastic welded that onto the front recess (i had to cut the front recess out) not a bad job for an amateur not very difficult providing you can get you are hands on a plastic welder.

I've seen some plastic welding glue stuff on ebay i dunno if u can cut the recess out and replace it with the rear part and use that glue would make things alot easier but again not too sure so ask someone before you attempt it

thnks speedy..i see what you mean..geting hold on a plastic welder is the problem...if the glue is any good then id use that to hold thte piece of plastic to the 16v bumper...

How expensive would labour by a pro be?
