thanks guys
I have a build thread for the whole car on a french forum if you want (LOT of) pics.

the rear bumper alone was a lot of work for a fiberglass newbie like I was then.
I started by molding the license plate recess twice
I used both parts to have a wider mold and used it to build a new wider license recess
and finally I cut a brand new fiberglass bumper and glassed the part
after cutting the backup light holes, I built some little brackets on the back (that's how the lights are mounted on early C4)
unfortunately, the lamps don't clear the real bumper and both the metal part and the honeycomb had to be cut (still need to reinforce the metal bumper).
the CORVETTE insert between the tail lamps was even harder.
a friend of mine cnc machined a plug for me
after many tries and vacuum assist, I've been able to get a clean part
for the exhaust, I started with a pair of dual tips from ebay and build it from there
