My mate has got an evo front bumper on his mk1 nova and he needs to get it smoother. it dosn't fit right round the lights or wings. it looks pukka froma distance but when you get up close looks sh#te. how can he fill the gaps and make it look closer to the car?

anyone got a 1.4sr for sale?

Rather than 'filling' the gaps, the bumper itself needs trimming to fit closer.

agree with marty - trim the bumper carefully to make it fit. you dont want to get into the whole adding bits of fibreglass game - v messy...
