Looking good mate
Looks like you didnt key up the paintwork on the bumper for the fibreglass/filler to stick to? jus hope it doesnt peel off.

I would have skimmed over a bit more filler than that (pink stuff) so I would have been able to use less of the easy sand on it. But other than that you've done well

it will crack when you go to put the bumper back on.

then i got it done at a bodyshop and i accidentally kneeled on the bumper while fitting my throttle bodies. and it cracked again think i will get it plastic welded in the summer.

will crack mate
you havent sanded the paint off so will not of keyed to the bumper like boyracer said.
you need to sand it right back and take the paint off, one to key the surface and another to you can paint it and not have a outline, as you way you will get a outline where you have filled when you come to paint it.
so to get it look right your going to need to start again.
