how would one go about completely smoothing a post 97 front bumper as in the top line gone AND the number plate recess, would it just be a case of layering up on fiberglass or creating a little frame to support the fiberglass?

i was going to have a body shop do this but i cant see why i wont be able to do it after a bit of a practice

Best way is to plastic weld it mate.

If not then the above method is an alternative.

plastic weld if you are doing the the plate recess. Its not difficult to do with a little practice.
