you could get more abs of some sort(door trim/guards) and use it to fill the area. i remember a friend a while back doing something were he used part of a bumper to fill the fog light/ turn signal area and used abs cement, sanded it, shaped it and painted it. he wanted that clean shaved bumper look that all vw guys want. came out nice just needs skill and time

I cut a piece of carbon fiber to fill in the gap. It is not red but does ad some contrast thanks for the idea.

Making it was not too hard. Made a templet laid it out on the carbon fiber destroyed a blade cutting it then a little sanding. Getting the carbon fiber is the expensive part it is 6 ply autoclaved that a buddy made for me had a little left over so I thought I would give it a try to see how it would turn out. You could use some black abs or even cut something and wrap it in red or grey vinyl. Anything other that carbon fiber would be easy to work with.

I can, i can just copy the one I have it is just made out of cardboard. Like I said very easy to make and then find some 1/8 thick material you want to use to fill the gap and use some automotive trim double back tape to hold it on.
