Default Washed my Elise but found some damage :(

Anyone have any idea what this will cost to repair? - is it possible to repair fibre glass?





She does come up well though

It can be repaired, i`d imagine it would be a rather expensive job though.

That's a pisser.

I got the STi washed the other day. Had a lOOk over it and suddenly remembered that my bumper is damaged and i should get to the dealer (who did the damage) to get it fixed.

Saw the VX 220 repair on "Wrecks to Riches". Awesome job and obviously can be done!

I don't have a clue to be honest. Just found it today while washing. I don't think i've hit anything because i usually end up miles away from stuff i'm trying to reverse upto thinking i'm quite close. My only guess is that another car has caught it possibly

It's ironic really. I ran my Scoob for 6.5 years and 84k with one dent repair and then i buy a brand new Lotus and 3 months and 3k later i get this Not to grumble though - i guess it could be worse
