broken front spoiler

[hippy]

if i damaged my front spoiler in an accident, and it was broken, is it possible to repair without the risk of it cracking in the future?? or do i have to put another one on??

The fibregalss lower extension on my bumper had basically broken in the middle, and also had several cracks from nosing into gutters. I had it repaired by a mob that primarily builds fibreglass boats - coat of paint and it looks good as new.

so do u think theres no chance of it breakin in the future??

All depends if you hit something

Maybe something hitting it or even some heavy wind at high speed might do something silly.

I doubt it would cost much to get it fixed by the fibreglass mob though so it's worth a try.

A while back MRT from memory had kevlar strips designed for the bottom of front bars to stop them cracking when they scraped on the tarmac..... might be worthwille seeing if something similar is still available.

Fibreglass breaks even if it is repaired expertly. A better repair job might not break as easily but it will break if hit hard enough in the right spot.

A good repair should be like a new one. It might even be better.

so just to make things clear ... what u all are saying is that if repaired properly it should be as good as one which has never had any damage!

thanks all
