not done bad today :D but i reckon i've got another day of filling before i'm completely happy :roll: Got the primer on tho to make sure the rust doesn't get to it. Still a fair bit of work to do on the bumper and i need to find a way of filling the holes as fiberglass won't stick to the bumper :evil:
Anyways some pics :mrgreen:

Have you tried bumperfill filler on the bumper, Ive not had any problem with that stuff, but its expensive and only comes in tubes.
Its looking really good :D

Cheers for the comments :D
not tried bumperfill, don't think I've even seen the stuff. Went through one of the large £25 tubs of normal filler over the weekend :shock:
