Not much progress on the bumper, aesthetics are low priority right now. I did get some trim to wrap all the way around but I need to make the end caps. Tried cutting up the US trim, but no luck. Euro trim might work but I have none to test. If anyone has Euro end caps they can measure that'd be awesome. :D

So a cop pulled me over.. for reasons.. But he was super cool and we chatted about the car for a while. He made a comment about needing a new rear bumper... and well, he's right - I've strayed from my power adders and finished this PITA-Eurostyle-aluminium-thing.
First I rivet some 1/8th aluminium into the channel - this provides the necessary height to mount the trim, and also solidifies the bumper as one piece.
Mock the trim
After many hours of making custom end caps. I was not satisfied.. so I decided to make an e21 style.. days of work would have been saved if I left these sections on the bumper...
Fab both sides
Aluminium brazing is possible, and IMO way more work then its worth, buy an A/C TIG for bonding this stuff.
Now the hard part - blend and polish.
Be happy its over
