also, when you did the wiper hole did you weld over the inside? if not how did you do it? i dont one on my old corsa and i masked it from the inside, poked the tape in so the filler went in/behind the lip a bit and it seemed good, just wondering is there another technique you done?

Rattle cans ftw, its not that hard to get a good finish with them, not as hard as people make out anyway. Can get as good a job with cans as you can with a gun.

sooo...when i bought the gsi bumper the splitter was split

... so today i go on with trying to repair it...

sorry havn't got no photo's of the split in it...

firstly i used some glue specialy for rubber and plastics

then i used some other glue/sealant (similiar to tiger seal)

then i sprayed them up using pound shops finest gloss black paint
