Hi Brutus, just a thought but are they not both PP plastics , (made from simalar materials) they should be able to be plastic welded together using a strip of the old bumper cleaned of paint- if you cannot get hold of the correct plastic filler rod,......a good hot air gun modified to a small out let will get you by if you have not got a plastic welding gun.

 

Have you thought about it cracking along the joint because that fiberglass will have no flexability in it.

 

Nice idea tho.

Even if i used the plastic welding it'd still need Fg and filler to get the shape.......never had any probs with cracking before and i've lost count of the bumpers ive done using this method. Infact i did my own like this and it's OK and this one which was done last summer and still the same :wink:

this may sound like a daft comment, and im sure you know what your doing, but wouldnt it be easier to spray it with the bumper off?
