That Jag belonged to a mate of mine called Jay. It drives like a sack of dead horse meat.

Looks pimp though. Now he has got another one, painted black metal flake with a snake skin roof and interior on gold 100 spoke alloys running a Pro Pump hydro setup.

He is the guy I bought my Passat off.

In need of advice.. Ive bought a bumper from eBay that i want take the bumper strip off and smooth. I've read up that cutting the old bumper strip so it sits flush and then plastic welding it into the recess? Then what, fibre glass over the remaining holes then filler? Literally such a noob when it comes to body work. Any help would be great as i want to get it done ASAP :)

Yup i've seen that seems to be the orthodox approach to doing it! The fibreglass will act as the foundation to the filler that you apply afterwards, and prevents sinking which would occur if you were to just apply normal filler over the plastic welded part. I'd go for fibreglass filler, then normal filler where you add the binder to it, then finally go over the top to fill in any tiny tiny holes and crevices with (can't think what it's called) but its incredibly fine and doesn't require a binder.
