hey, i have been given a combat front bumper which has seen better days!

i would like to flush the front of it to create a more smooth look to the bumper. now i know how to fibre glass for installs, but i am a total novice at bodywork so i was wondering if you guys can help me out with a few things?

i am thinking that the easiest way of doing this would be to cut away all the re-cessed parts and then lay aluminium mesh over the hole then fibre glass? would you agree or is there a easier / better way of doing it?

also will i need to leave a slight recess to allow for bodywork filler over the glass fibre? or wont this be needed?

cheers ppl
