Wasn't hard, or particularly 'skillful' to do. Just time consuming and requirement of a messy amount of tiger-seal. :lol:

4 G-Clamps, and a small die-grinder / dremil. And a lot of time/patience to keep making the cuts bigger and bigger until it hugs the bumper properly.

And regarding water based paint. Is it a simple process?
Would I get more reasonable quotes from sprayers using aqua over solvent?

Make sure the front bumper add ons are parallel from the top all the way round or if you look face on they will look wonky

This is the end of the journey.
I am breaking the van for parts.

Wheels already gone. Everything is for sale.
