I've just smoothed my own bumpers for my 1.9 TDI Sport.
They look the dog's bits.
The bad thing is that it took me 3 solid days to get them perfect.
I work for Jaguar in Lincoln and we charge labour out at £35 ph... this would work out expensive.
Will put some pics up if anyone intersted?????
Bought the car as a Cat D write off... Looking better now.

Re: Smoothing Bodywork
Im currently in the process of smoothing my bumpers, but also with to smooth my rub strips but have no idea how to fill the holes behind them, i heard that welding will make the metal distort and i cant think of any other way. Any advice????

Plastic welding is the best solution finished with slight filler.

Re: Smoothing Bodywork
any holes in bodywork need welding, do not just slap fibreglass/fibrefill on, it will sink/crack in no time
