Fixing a front bar

[Timmy G]

There are a couple of cracks in the Nismo front chin spoiler on the car I bought.

The dealer said I could get it patched up with fibreglass (which I presume is what the spoiler is made out of too), but said the whole thing should be resprayed so it looks brand new (no mismatched paint).

The spoiler costs like $350 unpainted for a brand new one, maybe $150 to spray and fit? The dealer said to FIX it it'd cost $300-400 (labour, respray, fix the fibreglass), is this unreasonable?

is the spoiler in question, it's not the WHOLE front bar, just everything under the fog lights.

Cheers,

Tim

if u were in melb i would have fixed it for u for like cost of materials ($50 at most) and u could have got it sprayed urself for about 150 to 200.

its piss easy to fix these things with fibrefill i was an "apprentice" for 2 years but i never went to school or anything i just learnt on site and after 6 months was repairing cars on my own.

shop around man im sure u will be able to find someone to do it reasonably priced

Cheers mate, I'll leave it as-is cos I'll probably run into a bloody parking lot concrete stopper or something! haha then I'll have to fix it again..

didnt you read the thread about parking skylines?

[Timmy G]

I don't know if I can give up the shopping centre car parks

The dodgy on street parking yes.. I am going to get a Brant Nemesis, false sense of security maybe, but good enough for me

You can just nick it from my car in the shopping centre..
