  • How to repair cracked front splitter

    Hey gents,

    Had an unfortunate incident the other day when I scraped my front splitter when parking, and the gutter must have been higher than normal because it cracked it...

    Below is a picture and I was just wondering if this is something that can be fixed..?

    It doesnt have to perfect, as its on the bottom of the car but just wondering whether something can be done relatively easy..

    What's it made out of? Possibly you could use a fiberglass repair kit and glass the backside of the crack. You'd have to hold the crack together somehow while drying though. You'd also need to scuff the backside before applying the glass to make sure the resin has something to "key" into

      Its made out of a plastic type material.. Don't know what exactly tho..

      Yes was thinking fibreglass but just don't know how easy it would be to do considering its tight and a lot of angles..

          Ummm... if this thing works as per videos etc, that is unbelievable... I can think of bucketloads of times I could have used this... I think i'll be getting this.. hopefully I can also give it a light sand afterwards then give it a re-paint and it will look like new...

          thanks for the suggestion.
