   Been offered a VERY cheap 106 rear bumper.
   
   How easy is it to cut out the recess and fit it to my vtr bumper.
   
   How is it done??
   
   Do i cut out the recess leaving a lip right round, cut a hole exact size of recess, the smooth the lip in using fiberglass??
   
   Thanks

   i was wondering how to do this aswell
   
   anyone done this before?
   
   what if the curve of the two bumpers dont match then it wont fit nicely in the hole??

   decided im gonna buy a 106 bumper, a VT bumper and a Ibiza splitter.
   
   Smooth the whole lot, get it sprayed and fit it.
   
   Should look amazing

   you just trim the recess so it has the same curve, cut the hole in the vt bumper, use some fibre glass and bassically blend them together.
