papier mache for aeromods?

I was trying to think of pliable materials that might make certain mods easier. For example, I have insets for fog lights, but no fog lights. I could make some papier mache, glop it in there until it hardens, and then glue it to the plastic inset. I could use duct tape for this, but I don't want it to sink in or come off. Using papier mache would mean that I could mold it, let it set, then take it out and spray paint it so it's not as conspicuous.

I haven't used the stuff in years and years, but I remember making a paste from something like glue and water, soaking newspaper in it, and then layering it or squishing it around a mold.

Do you think I would have any problems with this around the front bumper at all? I would imagine it'd melt or catch fire if I used it to cover the front grill.
