Do it yourself pal, really is simple.

Get yourself
1 roll I masking tape
1 fibreglass matting kit (£10 halfords)
Some filler
Primer
Paint
Lacquer

Mine took about an hour if that!

[dturbo ash]

[Jukie88]

I did mine impatiently and stuck abit of wore mesh in the recess and filled over the top with fibreglass it weighs a tonne lol gunna strip it at some point and do it again with a piece of my othe grill

[Oil-burner]

Rough up the back with the dremel
Masking tape over the painted side
Turn upside down
Fibreglass the shit out of it
Rip off masking tape
Sand down so all the fibreglass sits lower than the painted surface
Fill with filler
Sand smooth
Primer
Paint
Lacquer

I can get one next time I'm at my mums.
I intended doing a guide on it but my iphone is shite and keeps dying!

[samass]

Coolio! One I've got has just been filled, weighs about 4.73 tons

[Oil-burner]

Lol, don't think you can really tell any difference with mine tbh.

Put a pic up

[samass]

needs some more work, i've sprayed a guide coat onto it, it was in primer, but there are a few lumps and bumps

---

ill get some pics up when i can be arsed lol

[Oil-burner]

You'll smooth them out easy enough, use a block to make sure you get the angles right and you'll be fine.

[samass]

yeah that was the plan, doing the exact same thing on the rest of the car

[Oil-burner]

Haha rather you than me, Feckin hate prepping up!

[samass]

actually really enjoying it! for now anyway, i've only done half the rear quarter with 240 grit lolz

[Oil-burner]

Haha yeah that'll wear off pretty quick!
To be fair I still love doing it but is slow tedious work.

[samass]

true that. and i stil have to plug and fill the aerial hole, and the rub strip holes. and then find and smooth a bonnet! my right arm is gunna be HENCH

[Oil-burner]

Bonnets are easy enough, you need to get yourself a small detail sander to get the thickness of it off, makes it a lot easier!
I'd come give you a hand but its a bit of a trek

[samass]

Ah noted, I've a cheapy one kicking about!

nonsense, not that far, you drive an hdi!

[Oil-burner]

I drive a hdi because in poor! Lol
