Best way to cut it out of the rear xp splitter?

 

[Lashed]

Stanley knife, then wet and dry sand paper to smooth.

Stanley knife,

Just make you you dont do what one of the guys at my old work did, and lose your grip and end out taking the bumper out lol

Slow and steady wins the race! And keeps your finges where God intended!

Try a coping saw as you will get all the corcle cut if your carefull then lightly sand round

i used a coping saw, cuts it really easy and tbh, the position its in your not going to see if its a little bit of a rough cut!

 

[Lashed]

You'd be better of cutting it slightly smaller, then sand it back to the actual size to get a nice finish.

There are drill 'saw' bits that cut on their sides.... as opposed to drilling on the top....a bit like a dremel but with more power.They look like drill bits. If you own a drill with adjustable speed then thats the way to cut plastic. Ive cut loads of plastic using mine. £3 odd for a 3 pack of sizes approx 4mm 9mm & 15mm at Tool Station

Rip saw would do aswell although a bit clumsy

Carefully & as Lashed says, Steady all the way & starting smaller ... You can then always shape with a fine toothed file Etc ...

Guess it not that easy to crack the plastic with this amount of ideas. Will hopefully be up early on friday and having a go at this and then try get the whole kit on then at least before night hits without screaming for help.

 

[Lashed]

The plastic will flex some what but too much pressure and it could crack.

Just let the cutter do it's job, as it cuts you can ease it around the cut out rather than push it.

Would a red hot stanly work?

If you want the bumper melted and deformed....

 

[Cobray]

Only thinking outloud

Use a soldering machine...

First make a pre line with a sharp knife for the shape you want.
Secound heat up your welding machine and start melting bumper inside from the line you previously draw.
Third clear out cutted part with a bit knife and sand paper...

Easy to do easy to control but you have to be patient you may broke soldering machine if you pushed it much...
