There was a thread in the fisd or here, where a people extend his Kidneyplate. I don´t find them ..

My first thought was, to bend the edge from the plate. But is it necessary? Is it possible to make the plate without the bend an the KP?

Here my first try of bend the edges:

You're on the right track.  I'd recommend removing the return edge on the kidney plate entirely, along the entire side edge (the edge that goes vertically up your side).  Then place the new shim flush against the new edge:

 Tie the two plates together with another piece of plastic glued behind them.

(ignore the clamps in the photo, that's just adding a reinforcement plate for the rivets to go through to add strength to the shim plate, since it was thinner than some other armor and that area can get a lot of stress)

Ok, here the first steps to extend the kidney plate. I do it like kman and glued a plate behind the shim plate. I bend the Shim plate a little bit, so it fits better. Thank you Paul on this way, for the extra ABS.

Ok, yesterday, we glued some parts from the legs and arms. This morning, we do the first paintjob at the helmets (black).

Yesterday arrived the DLT-19 from spain. Thank you Pedro from the Spanish Garrison for the great work. I do some changes on it (paintjob, weathering, wire ..) and this is it now (the weathering in real looks better than on the pics):
