I realised that I need to make a mold or something to work on, cozmo helped and told me what I need to do (thanks Cozmo) but I still can't make a mold from styrene sheets, it seems-out of my league.
I need help
Plastic sheets are useful to make a flat piece or a template for putty, such as this.

The lower side was made with plastic sheets, and polyester putty was used to fill a gap.
Do you have a picture of the bumper or something similar, that you are going to make? That will help give you clear advice.
