front bumper is a raid hp fibreglass euro bumper. i got it for free from the company my brother used to work for. its basically the same as the reiger RS front but its a full fibreglass bumper. fit of it is really good considerin i havent cut it about at all.

to smooth the rear bumper i used P40 fiberglass filler and a little bit of P38 body filler, P180/400/800 wet and dry paper.thats about it really apart from a little bit of work and effort

not sure really mate. if you dont want it to crack as easy then drill holes in the recess ur filling and push the fibreglass through and smooth it on the back aswell. not sure if there is anythin that flexable really unless you find out from a bodyshop. im sure this is the only stuff to use tho
