hey, i have been given a combat front bumper which has seen better days!
i would like to flush the front of it to create a more smooth look to the bumper. now i know how to fibre glass for installs, but i am a total novice at bodywork so i was wondering if you guys can help me out with a few things?
i am thinking that the easiest way of doing this would be to cut away all the re-cessed parts and then lay aluminium mesh over the hole then fibre glass? would you agree or is there a easier / better way of doing it?
also will i need to leave a slight recess to allow for bodywork filler over the glass fibre? or wont this be needed?
cheers ppl

yes it will so dont hit the ground mate  no matter how strong it is the first time you hit it on the floor it may crack. you may get a away with it a few times but after while of doing it, it will crack
