Dont smooth the bumpers in mate. I did on my old corsa and it was a pain in the a$$! The arches/sideskirts look cool smoothed in tho.

Bad idea in my opinion, unless its a show car.

One little tap to either part, and the filler will check meaning side respray etc

Not worth it, unless its a one off show car

PS: thats my opinion anyway.

I never had any problems with the work cracking. It was only annoying because i couldnt take the bumpers off without major work.

The only time it did crack was when the car got wrote off.

the only cracks i get is when i hit curbs lol
but it does mean it would take alot of work to get the front bumper if u needed to get behind it.

if the arches are fibreglass, they are more likely to crack due to different heat expansion temperatures
