    fiberglass is probably alot cheaper and easier they both look good but with the welding you have to spend alot of time smoothing off the weld etc and prepping for work all which is fine if you are a welder. up to you at the end of the day

    welding s by far the best, those shit panels of ebay are pants, they crack and stick out a bit to which results in more smoothing, dont botch a job do it right first time
    
    weld all the way

    Personally ide go for metal welded..a lot more rigid than a piece of fibre glass mate.

    be careful when wiring it into the rear washer jet lever bit. ive seen it a few times where people are goin along a road, forget about wiring it in there and accidently open their boot.
    
    you dont want it happening when your on the motorway!
