Fiberglass Bodykit Repair

Postby MR2BOY23 » Wed Feb 04, 2009 8:13 pm

Reversed into a post :D :oops: Pretty stupid of me. Umm its got about a 10cm crack going down to the bottom of the bumper. Can you use ordinary car filler on this or do you need a special fibreglass filler?Ive been told I might need to take the bumper off however , so might needa get a pro on the job :P

Anyone one on toyspeed know of any good panel beaters? Or anyone a panel beater on here

Thanks

I'm looking at taking my MR2 there when I finally get a source of income (Oh these are tough times)
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Good luck with the 1 hour fix :lol: *hopes to be proven wrong*

I have a nice crack in my front kit as people can't navigate properly in car parks. I decided if I tried to fix it myself it would look worse so just put some touch up paint on it :oops:

What are you on about, the hardest bit about fiber glass repair is the painting ;).
It is piss easy to fix, and cheap.
Just get to a boat shop/bunnings/mitre 10 and buy some resin/glass mesh and some good filler and you are all set.
