you did it a bit of an arseache way tbh.
When I did mine I cut the diamond section out leaving the bottom part in place to keep the grille as 1 part, then taped a bit of waxed up flexible plastic onto the outside surface across the gap, following the curve. Then I just layed up fibreglass onto it on the inside. When it was cured, just pulled off the waxed plastic and there was MINIMAL shaping to be done, just surface prep for paint really. |
