   It is seriously expensive if you're going to follow it through, and alot of the bits you fill will have to be plastic welded mate. i.e. foglight, rear exhaust recess

    Alot of Euro work is smoothing.
    
    Smoothing has to be done properly. If the filling is not done properly, you'll see it in the paint and have to redo it... and redo it... and redo it.
    
    So many things could go wrong suck as cracking, sinking among other things
