bumper modification

[VRV6BT1]

G'day,
Here's my problem.
I need new front and rear bumpers.
I want standard bumpers, but I want to fill the dress line and take the middle leg out of the grille so the grille will look something like a gtsr or manta grille, has anyone done anything like this or does anyone have any pointers/tips or tricks for me?
Shpuld I get standard plastic or can you get fibreglass standard bumpers?

Cheers.

If ur gonna fiberglass it use epoxy resin. Bit more expensive but it will stick!

Ok, I've never used epoxy resin before, is it hard to work with?

I havent worked with it either, I have a few mates who are boat builders so I'll ask them. From what I know its no different to work with but it will stick to plastic properly.

Or you can just find a manta grill piece on ebay and cut the middle piece out of the bumper and fit the manta grill in. I have seen people doing it and seems easier than the messy fiberglass stuff.

Do you fit the manta grille in?
