Hey!

I recently bought a 2nd hand front lip for EK and it's slightly bent outwards on both sides.. what's the best way to get the lip back into place?

ANY HELP WILL BE TOTALLY AWESOME =]

heat it up with a hair dryer/ heat gun at the point its bent from and bend it back the other way.

Forgot to add. Is the lip PP plastic or what? depending on what the lip is made from you might not be able to bend it.

Say if its Hard/soft plastic, fibre glass or carbon fibre.

Hey! Thanks for the info.. it's polyurethane. Will a hairdryer be hot enough? I'm planning to bend it back a bit and then respray and all..
It's hard plastic but i think it can be moulded a bit..

I'd go to bunnings and get a heat gun, take too long with a hair dryer.

POly is very hard to bend when you heat it. Actaully i dont even think it will bend. If you're gunna spray it just tell the shop to fix it. and they'l do their best. Get then to fit it for you too so less headache for you
