Replacing front silver air splitter?
Re: Replacing front silver air splitter?
This is the damaged part - yes integral and concerned that wrapping a cracked part will still the crack showing - bit of plastic welding and re-spray I'm thinking....

Other shiny stuff that could have paid for private education for my children but you can't miss what you've never had!

Ouch!
Doesn't look too bad at first but after looking at the diagrams it looks like a new bumper unless you know a good garage that could repair it.
Either way its going to cost you, not the arse that did it.
Feel for you mate.

That's a peace of cake for a decent body Shop to repair
Tbh wrapping that low down isn't going to look good for long, it's going to get chipped in no time

I had visions of a crack, not a full on break. A plasticweld in a bodyshop seems your best bet.

Yep, I think that is the only route unless I replace the whole bumper - something that just seems to be unnecessary.kmpowell wrote:Ouch indeed!Outtlaw wrote:Ouch!![]()

I'll keep this thread updated - the emails have gone out to local smart repairers.
