I was going to smooth the bumper on my mk3 golf, but got rid of it before I ever got round to it. I have a spare leon rear bumper in my garage, I might have a go at smoothing that first and see how it goes.

I have heard filler is easier to work with but more liable to drop - or fibreglass, but then thats harder to work with.

Any recommendations?

Of course the only problem is that if I smooth as is it covers the screw holes to fix the bumper to the car...

yeh ive heard the fuscor thing is pretty good but im getting mine plastic welded by a high quality coachworks in kilmarnock,had it done to my corsa and had no problems with parts sinking etc.....so i'll be getting plastic welded again mate, its down to preferance,whether you would pay 150 per bumper or 300
