DaveR Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Im gonna order a new one tonight and sell the damaged one, it will be fine to spray, what with this and 2 speeding fines in as many months im totally fed up with cars for the min. Look on the bright side if you can: they say bad luck comes in threes, so there's your three. It's all good from here on in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyW Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Put the active spoiler back on JP, this was a sign! I'll buy your electric aerial off you (if you still have it) to help with the speeding fines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnanshah247 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 dont get all upset about it Jamie, these things happen i guess. anything i can do to help? if you want to repair it, i dont mind coming down and giving you a hand. when ever something bad happens i always remind myself how worse off i could be, be grateful and happy that you didnt do any serious damage and wreck your car! chin up!

Homer Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 How about the slightly smaller Whiftbitz lower front lip (Think it's a copy of an old main brand one). They are GRP but are far cheaper to replace it they get a knock and not as brittle as carbon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
