fill in exhaust hole on cup bumper

[Floodie]

When my cup 1.8t is finished i will probably be going down the stealth look for the exhaust.

problem is, years ago i bought a letterbox style exhaust from Prospeed and had the bumper only slightly cut so it fit in nicely.

is it possible to have this 1x5" notch filled in by a body shop... surely it is with just a bit of filler etc but spoke with a local company and they thought no...

cheers

It is possible with another bit of plastic, and a soldering iron. But it's a massive pain in the arse.

By the time you've fucked about, sanded, primed and painted, you might as well have bought a second hand bumper.

Fibreglass some plastic behind and fill and sand.

Seen it done but you will always be able to see it from certain angles and you will notice it more as you know its there - after the cost of the work it would be easier to buy a second hand bumper for £80-100 and get it sprayed as said above...

filling a large hole will be just asking for crackage, the prep costs from a GOOD body shop will be more than a bumper as Foxy says

yeh you all have a point really.... i cant having this car looking crappy from certain angles etc, and i could probably pick up a cup bumper for under £100 anyway.

May even find one in the right color
