Morning all.
I know this is a topic which is heavily discussed across car forums, and there seem to be many different views. And so I thought I would ask here..
I'm looking to smooth my front numberplate recess in order to recolate a smaller plate elsewhere on the front. From what I gather there are a few accepted ways of doing it,
1) Using fibreglass to fill it all out, sand down and paint.
2) Melt a piece of plastic in place, and use FB/Filler around the edges, sand down and paint.
I have a ph1, so of course my recess is in the front black bump strip.
Anyone have any thoughts/experience with this? I've read on a few threads that using just filler or fibreglass can start to 'sink' or crack after a while?
Cheers
