My front was damaged so i had it repaired smoothed and sprayed for £70 which i thought was a pretty good price!

Use fibreglass to fill the ridge, just needs glassed before it will stick!

Wanna sell me that rear

The photoshop should be all you need to work out the splitter looks shit on the bumper. Why smooth everything, only to fit something that doesn't follow any lines.

When it's like this, different is a bad thing.
