Front lip broke

Hey guys,

After bumping and scraping my front lip for ages, it finally gave in last month. I pulled out of a really steep driveway and it literally just snapped in half- it tore down the middle and all the white fibreglass is sticking out.

I kind of pushed it back into place but its still torn... what should I do now? Is it fixable?

:(

OUCH.... I've heard that epoxy can glue fibreglass together, but you'll still have to repaint it. If the lip is not too pricey, why not get another one?

Show us a pic.

Some can be repaired and some can't, depending on the damage.

its about 300 to get an unpainted lip from jetspeed so get some quotes on gettin it repaired at bodykit specialist and see which is cheaper

I believe this one should be the Mugen lip right Magz??
From sounds of things, the lip is unrepairable.
Are you planning on gettin the exact same lip?
If so, you're probably best going to Jetspeed, Carmate etc to look for a replacement...pricing should be roughly $300-$500 painted and fitted.
If you're not too fussed on which sort of lip to get, try looking around the parts for sale forum, im sure someone might be selling the Vti-S lip for moderately cheap :)

Yep, thats the one. Its the pointy one (which made it more prone to scratching).

Thanks for the advice guys. I don't have money for a new lip so i'll keep an eye out in the sales section. xx
