    Plastic Welding

    Ive bought a brand new mark 1 nova rear bumper but the exhaust ive got sits underneath the bumper (exiting straight) rather than in the bumper exhaust cutout. Im after some info on where i can go to get the exhaust cutout plastic welded up so its totally smooth.

    Im located in cheshire

    I'd have thought it would be more likely to be fibreglass matted and fillered.

    Want to go for factory look by plastic welding in a piece from another mark 1 bumper to just get rid of the cutout

    It will still look factory if glassed, if done properly. There will be a join if welded that will be visible, although if a lot of time is taken and the graft is very exact, it will be a small one.

    I know there will be a join thats unavoidable but if i glass and fill it i wont be able to recreate the rough effect of the bumper, theyre not smooth
