BUYING: find a bumper that you like... i've choosen this WRX bumper because its ruffly the same shape as a TS-TR magna, Same with most r33-r34 skyline bumpers are the ruff shape as a te-tw magna

STEP1: First thing i did was chop the top on the fibreglass bumper, and then chopped the lower half of the magna bumper

STEP2: As you can see, i've started shaping the fibreglass bumper to the magna bumper... i've had to chop the sides, and teck them

STEP3: next i started taping up the gaps, so i can fibreglass them up

STEP4: This is after i fibreglassed the gaps up

STEP5: Removing the tecks and using ALLOY poprivets... and also used stickyflexi, the reason i used them, was because fibreglass doesnt like sticking to plastic (this has worked 12months and theres no cracks where the joins are) so you reeally need a good anchor
