Just fitted new splitter and broke it 30 sec later!!!
 
Just took delivery of a new front spoiler from Scott Lowe.
(Thanks for sorting everything out Scott!!)

Fitted it in a lunch time at my bro's house.

Time was a bit tight, rolled foward off his drive and it hit a metal plate in the floor that the gates rest on!!! :mad:

Absolutely, gutted :mad: :cry:

It has taken approx and inch square of paint off and bent it, slap bang in the middle !!

Anyone got any suggestions on how to fix it ?

Thats what I was thinking.
Don't know what would suite though.

Any ideas ?

Perhaps I'll take a pic and post it up asking for suggestions ?

I'm allergic to plasters :D

Just put some touch up paint on it and it looks a little better.

looks like a red bird **** or summat. It could very easily be repaired properly though.

Oh man, that sucks! My splitter is due anytime (courier didn't turn up today, hopeful for tomorrow) and I would hate for that to happen. Feel sorry for ya dude.

Got any more pics of the splitter on the car? Wanna see the whole thing on :)

Ideal excuse to paint one of those white lines down the centre of the whole car:p

sKunk 03 September 2004 08:04 PM

Slap a big prodrive sticker across it :)

I think I would put a sticker over it definately.WRX or STI or something to suit the car.

It looks not to bad mate,like said before, rub it down with some wet and dry,a bit of filler if needed,then a wee flash with an aerosol(spraystore will mix one to the colour of your car for around a tenner),then bang on the obligatory Prodrive sticker,hey presto :)

pmsl at Carl2's idea though:)

unlucky kiddo
 
sorryt hear about that...

my m8 has an ultima gtr that he has built over the last 3 years and its cost him like £55000. He promised me when he building it that he's take me for a spin when he'd completed it. yesterday was the date decided and i asked him to pick me up from the garage at about dinner. i heard the rumble come up th hill (at this moment i was under the mini fixing on the exhaust clamp other wise i'd have rushed out) next i heard a loud bang and expected the worse. i downed my 11 spanner and ran out. On the entrance to our car park theres a rather large lip and he'd ripped a section out of the complete front section off. The worrying thing was that the section that he had riped out was 18inches long.

When he got out of the car i asked him how much a new front end would be. I saw the depression in his face and he sighed £2400

i dont think youve done that bad m8
