Default Problems With My new Sideskirt

Heya
From a earlier post when I mentioned about sliding my car off in the bad ice we had over xmas. I've finally got round to buying some CW1 sideskirts of fleabay.

I've had it sprayed and fitted. But this is where problem arises. The spray job isn't perfect it looks very rippled and thick. Also its not fitted exactley correct as the other sideskirt.

The body repairer has a very good reputation and he fitted my broken bumper ages back fine. Now I'm going to ring up and just query what he can do. I hate complaining. I know he said he had trouble priming it and spraying. It needed a very good clean.

But if al else fails can I just either wax it or respray over it. And to the fitting, the otherside the back of the skirt has been cut to allow correct fitting. Now how easy is it to cut fibreglass.

As at the moment it looks bent towards the rear. I'll try and get a photo up asap.

Cheers

Easy enough to cut fibreglass with a dremmel and cutting blade. Ive got a 22b fibreglass front bumper on my classic and had to cut it for the front mount...

I rang them up today to say I wasn't perfectly happy with it. He said to give it a t-cut and if it don't improve it, to pop it round. So will just do that.

Might have to take sideskirt off as the weather is rather bad though.
