Yeh im interested to know aswell how to DIY. My front bar has a dent in it looks like a big stone chip. Also are there any good books or touch up kits that can be bought as I wouldnt mind touching up some stone chips and scatches on my front and rear bars.

If its a touch up kinda fibreglassing say a front bonnet for example it is really easy, some clown decided to leave a brick in the middle of canning highway about a month ago so BANG went my front spoiler as i hit it.

Once i finished crying after the nice hole it left in the bumper i then thought i should try to fix it. I went to super cheap auto and they have an already made fibreglass repair kit. They have the clear white resin stuff and you then mix it with a bit of pink paste depending on the size of the whole. it was vewry easy to mix just used my Zest keytag from the gym as it was a nice size of a spachelor then once it mixed i jut dabbed it on. after about 30 mins it was dry, then got a bit of sandpaper and sanded it down. then had my can of previously colour coded paint to spray over and well robert your mothers brother it came out looking perfect, asked the mrs if she could find were the damage was and she couldnt :-)

so get to super cheap auto and buy the fibreglass repair kit in a green tub i think it was its about half the size of an ice cream container... this is of course if you want to repair something.

Ahhh first post in 5 months..........

thats not too bad. might be a good idea to reinforce it by using a strip of alumuin or thin steel and fiberglassing over the top of it.
