Smashed csl bumper

[NZ_M3]

Both parts look easily repairable - especially the bumper, that's bugger all damage.

The splitter will be a little harder and won't look the same, but usable.

Plastic trays and arch liners are easily sourced.

If covered by insurance get a new bumper and splitter, but keep the damaged one and repair it. The brilliance of Carbon Fibre is that it is easily repairable.


I bought the following from a member on here and repaired it locally ...

















Paint peeled back to survey the damage:







A little more serious than we thought, but we got on with it:

Wet lay using the same carbon fiber tweel as the original with 2 part epoxy ... (autoclave hire time was just too expensive to warrant that type of repair, so a wet lay up was used instead - just as strong and not much weight gained on such a small area)










Sanding it down:















Like it was never damaged almost:

Priming:











Painted:











The finish product:

Hi chaps,
Recently had a run in with what I think was a hare .And have cracked my bumper ,splitter ,plastic under tray and bottom part of radiator .:bigcry: Some of my part names may not be quite right (sorry) .Does any of you guys know if these parts are easily sourced or even repaired (especially bumper)or should I just see if my insurance would cover it ? Any advice would be really appreciated .
