I’m thinking of attempting to repair the front bumper of my R32(the birth of my son has made cash flow a little tight to say the least) and I really need some advise on how to go about applying and smoothing fiber glass to get the job done.

I know there’s instructions included with the fiberglass, but there’s nothing like the advice given by people with first hand experience in the stuff

Any suggestions would be great thanks

Depends what sort of crack? compound, chip, or just a fracture?

I'd actually recommend plastibond for just small fixes, as it's less stuffing around - and quite strong.

With fibreglass it's all in the mixing.. I'd just use a spatula. In the end, as long as you get the correct coverage, it will all be sanded back anyhow to the proper shape.

My suggestion is this, bring it down to the gold coast and i will fix it for u. i have all the product needed except your colour. i will undercoat the touchup amd make it as good as new. (the perks of being in the fibreglass industry). get back to me if your interested. scotchies would help the cause

yeah shouldnt be a drama, what mite be an idea is to post some pics then can arrange something from there. i need some idea of time frame and can only tell from pics, not really worth driving down just so show me then comin down again so yeah throw up some pics and ill get back to u, maybe i shold open a thread on body kits repairs ey?

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
