Visit to talk about Rear Bumper

[D4R73N]

Took the car to SCP today modification place near me, very highly recomended, anyway I ask about getting the bumps taken out the rear bumper and splitter merged in, then he says "It wont last, i wont be able to join the two plastics", "Although I will spray the splitter for £30"...

What should I do, Getting the splitter done is all good, but what about the bumps, still there :s, what can I do to change the bumper?

Thanks, Darren.

Little Photoshop as an idea of what im looking to do.​

i dont think it looks bad with the strip on the back bumper, spray the splitter and job done mate.

Can't join the 2 plastics? Surely fibreglass would be sorted for that, or plastic weldings.

He said to get the Splitter and Exhaust done would cost me £225

Thats a full custom...

fit a super s/sr bumper then your splitter. it will give a similar look to your pic

if u fiberglass the splitter to the rear bumper and hit a kerb with it or a speed bump then it will crack and be worse than just spraying the splitter on its own.

to get a proper job done it will need to be plastic welded!


that is what nex's had done to his front bumper that was why it was so much!

Smoothed in will look 100x better.

Doing yourself, not recommended without plenty of time and material, I'm STILL working on an already half done one.

Firbreglass will work if it doesn't take any knock as it'd just crack plenty, plastic welding will keep to flexible but may take more work, plastic welding is more a pro job too.

Would look much better though, anyone can bolt a splitter on but having blended will look more pro.

What about using a plastic glue filler to fill the gaps?
(the type used to repair cracked bumpers)

Heres my bumper filled and smoothened. Ive got the boot done since. And i hope to get a splitter on and smoothened into it as well. I can upload pics of the rear bumper being done cause i took loads of pictures of it being done aswell as the front bumper too......

as Z said, get an SR/Super s bumper, already smooth.
