To make a GSi bumper so I can have my Kamei grill on it, do I just need to fill the dent where the Vauxhall badge was in the bumper, or is it mor complicated than that? Cheers

Cool, cheers mate.
Also.....My Corsa is flame red....I want to keep the black arches and bumper strips.....d'ya reckon a GSi bumper, with Kamei grill, and black strip would look ok?...The black bit immediately below the grill and headlights i mean, so it will blend in with the black arches....

you need to reshape the lower corners too, or you get gaps and it looks wank.

i think adam_b has done this.

if you want to keep the arches black and the top of the bumpers black, look at my car in my garage to get an idea of what it will look like

Ahh, I see! how did you keep the matt effect of the black? Bits of paint are chipping off my GSi bumper, and underneath, it is that textured black plastic of the arches. If I fill the Vauxhall badge area, how will i replicate that black textured effect? Or is it better to have the arches sprayed black too? (dont know if that makes any sense or not, sorry)
