hey peeps. just wondering if anyone could give me any tips on how to cut fibrelass and what to use.

i need to cut a hole for a number plate light and towing hook in my abyss rear bumper and also a small section for my exhaust to go through.

i have never done anything like this before and would appreciate any tips and or help anyone can offer.

thanks ian

i use an angle grinder usually but ud probably be better off with a jigsaw n a file for smaller areas.

use an angle grinder. it cuts grp like butter. u may get a problem if u cut it, if the laminatings s**t an the matting hasnt been wet enough then it will fluff up. if that happens then buy some resin n brush a bit on to seal the edge. be careful too when cutting it coz if u get the dust on ur skin it may itch like a b**ch!
