Jay M1988 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Hey all, Bought a duraflex front lip from a trader on here middle of last year. Didnt fit it straight away as wanted it painted and fitted by my bodyshop whom ive used up here in newcastle for a very long time. Cut the story short. He's prepped and painted the lip but the fitment is terrible. I mean its came out smooth from painting but it is so wavy the plastic that it doesnt meet up in the corners or the straight lines even with a little force. We've tried using crazy amounts of bond but it just looks bad. Anyone have any tips for me. My last resort is to buy a new front bumper. Thankyou all.

lmc Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Is it fibreglass? If so heat it up with a hot air gun and it will become flexible enough to re mold it. You need to find a way of holding it in place until it cools downand then it will take the new shape. To be honest this should have been done before painting.

Jay M1988 Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) I know bud the bodyshop rang me and explained of the bad fitment and that they've a few ideas to try make good of it but would not continue without my say so. So me thinking hey how bad can the lip be said go ahead. Its duraflex mate not fibreglass. Edited January 2, 2016 by Jay M1988 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmc Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Fitting is exactly the same process as fibreglass. Take a look on there website it will explain fitting process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay M1988 Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Will do seen a few people fit them on here. Ill check a few guides/reviews online. Probably my fault for giving the go ahead but just want it to sit right on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
