DIY MSpeed Wing fitment

DIY MSpeed Wing fitment
To keep this simple and short, I bought a parts car to fix some things on my current 8. The parts car has a duraflex mspeed replica that I plan to plastidip and put on my 8 as I like the look of the wing. It fits ok along the majority of the bumper, but then sticks off near the edges (I'll attach a picture). I was wondering if anyone has had any experience or seen anyone use some kind of foam or bondo or something to fill the gap. Would/could it work? I'm not looking for something perfect, and because I am plastidipping it I would imagine it wouldn't show bondo lines as easily as paint. I figured it might be worth a try since I got the wing for 'free' (and that is the only reason I would bother with duraflex). I couldn't find anything by searching the forums, or online in general.

Yeah man, people do it all the time. Just get some of the foam from a Home supply store. Then when it dries just sand it down and plastidip over it.
Oh and then when you are done, set that POS on fire.

Yea once I eventually get an authentic one I'll make sure this duraflex piece of garbage will see its demise.

You might be right, once I get it off the parts car I can mess around with how it sits. Although it is duraflex so no matter what I do it will never fit or look right. Which is why this is only a temporary opportunity to see if I like the style of wing.
