VXLINE bumper retrofit research

[tucpal]

so just an update
i went in to lookers and got a price for the headlight washer jet covers
and nearly died that will be £189.00 sir
not a chance that is going to happen so the only option is to fill the holes
so it was out with the dremel and cut the brackets out time









next job get some isopon bumper fill and some mesh
and start to pad out the back of the bumper



when that is set turn the bumper over and clean the hole out with the dremel and rub down with 80 grit and fill with bumper fill







when that has set rub down with 80 grit and get the shape wright



then start adding filler to get it nice and flat
blocking is the best way spray black very lightly over the filler
you will see the high and low spots better it is best to get it wright at this stage
it will save alot of work later on when the paint goes on
so just keep adding filler and sanding till you get it spot on
rub down with 80 grit and 120 grit then 400 wet and dry to get it nice and smooth







i also had a few cracks to do
drill the crack out with a dremel and make it bigger
again use bumper fill and mesh as a backing and fill th other side with bumper fill
and add filler and block it out till it is ok











so i am ready now for one more block down of the whole bumper
and the plastic primer and high build will be done and yet more blocking back
to get a nice smooth surface ready for paint
but that is next weeks work
as i have a right mess to clean up.
