Hi guys, I have not long completed my first full panel file finish on a LX front guard and altho I have no highs or lows and it feels good, looking at the panel it has a slight bow outwards, hard to explain but it is over the entire panel, the panel looks quite good by its self but when next to an untouched straight guard I can see the difference.
I assume I have over worked the metal and nothing I can do without loosing the finish to correct it.
Any pionters on how to either fix it or avoid this please?

I'm wondering if it were bolted to the car would the bow be pulled out of it?

I don't think bolting it up will help.

my passenger front is the same, perfect guard, just has a big bow in it.
got me stuffed, but it looks good on the car.

Are you able to show us some pics of the guard to describe what the situation is?
