cut the pieces loose. Grind a bevel on all edges, inside and out. Use some metal straps with holes drilled on wither side and pop privet the two pieces into place. Cut some strips of glass and lay them up in-between the metal straps. Let them setup. Remove the metal straps ( drill out the rivets ) and glass the parts together using subsequently larger pieces of fiberglass to overlap the previous. Finish with a little bondo.

Not a guru, but yes. On hindsight, it's always best to install flares with the bumpers so any fitting includes most of the variables.

Here are a couple of slices I made on my RS rear bumper to prep for glass and resin.

Mark's blog might be helpful.
Especially at the beginning he deals a lot with making his GRP stuff - so you'll have to dig through the old stuff.

have you got a photo of the rs bumper on yours at the front edge ? trying to see how your fibreglass edge meets the front chassis
