Help prepare a complex mesh for 3d printing

I need to make the mesh a solid, so I can 3d print this. It's a front bumper for an RC car.

 

If you can open the attached. I copied the first mesh, then moved it 1mm inside. The inside mesh, I performed "Reverse Normal", because I want it to be the back of the surface. I also scaled down the inside mesh a small amount (.99). Now I simply need to fill the gaps in between both meshes to make it a solid! 

 

Any help appreciated! Thank you very much!

You are better off doing this in Autodesk Meshmixer or Blender. 

If you can attach the original .stl or .obj file (zip it beforehand) I can show you how.

 

Edit: Now that I've looked a the model a little closer I would say that this will require a considerable amount of clean-up work before it can be thickened in Blender.
