Has anyone on here smoothed the ridge out of the rear bumper?
If so can you please put up a pic or a link to it cheers!
Just had it done to my front and want to do something with the rear but can't decide what
trying to keep the car smooth and subtle

it should stick fine... just make sure you key & degrease the plastic well and it'll stick like shit 2 a blanket

My front was damaged so i had it repaired smoothed and sprayed for £70 which i thought was a pretty good price!
Use fibreglass to fill the ridge, just needs glassed before it will stick!
Wanna sell me that rear

The photoshop should be all you need to work out the splitter looks shit on the bumper. Why smooth everything, only to fit something that doesn't follow any lines.
When it's like this, different is a bad thing.
