Hey guys just wondering if any one has made or no were to get a LH rear bumper without the exhaust cut out in it. Was thinking of fibreglassing mine but thought there might be an alternative. Cheers

Take it to a plastic welder. Fibreglass will only crack over time due to the flexing and different heating/cooling rates. Ring around some panel beaters and they'll put you onto some companies, or alternatively they'll be able to handle it all for you, ie leave the car with them and they'll organise the plastic welding plus respray.

This is an example of how well it can turn out. This is my car, which is a VY SS so it used to have the recess for the parking lights cutout.

Yes as said, plastic welder. I had mine done on my sedan, and you can't tell its not standard

just hack it with an angle grinder, unless your lying down you cant see up into the bumper

The op wants to fill in the std cut out, not make a 2nd opening

cause that looks mint. i was never a fan of the tear drop parkers. n wanted my mate to get some hsv/calais headlights and front bar.
but i like the SS look of the bar too.


so that is some great work on that one!!
