The smash had put two cracks in my bumper n stressed cracked it over half the bumper! Luckily it was mainly in the paint and not in the plastic and put two dents and a few scratches in my boot.

I plastic welded the rear bumper together and buzzed all the paint off the bumper to to make sure i hadnt missed anything.

Then filled the dents in the tail gate, and blocked out a few stone chips that happened when my rear window smashed.i got them in final skim of filler tonight ill block them down and primer them tomorrow.

Once my bumpers prepped ill reseal the splitter to the bumper when i paint it :)

It was sad sanding away all the work I've done especially seems I've not had it on the road a year yet since i painted it but im so glad its only this and not majorly bad, if it was a total loss i would have been gutted, its times like this im thankful to work in a bodyshop because id imagine a fair few starlets would get scrapped oncr written off even with only small damage like this! But she will soon be back in the road i have a few new parts to go on too :)

Wow! I thought it was a lot worse!do you recommend taking all glass out for painting the same colour mate? Shop I asked said they could but they don't take responsability if it breaks...

You dont need to mate really, i took mine out because i was changing the colour and there was a small bit of rust behind the glass im not taking it out this time matey

Good work buddy!

Thanks dude!!!
