I have done this with both my front and rear bumpers, I used bumper fill from HALFORDS and it worked a treat :D I think its about6 quid a tube and you will need 3 tubes for each bumper. The good thing about this stuff is it's flexible when set so wont crack when fitting the bumpers back to the car. I can get you some pics of them so far if you want. I just need to get them off to the paint shop. :rolleyes:
