Hey guys,

I just found out that 2 of my headlight brackets have been snapped during an accident. It was a very clean break.

So I'm just wondering if anyone knows any good plastic welder around Melbourne?

And if I do plastic weld it, would I see the weld marks? Or are they good enough to make it invisible? :D

Cheers

Is the attached break in the pics fixable? Wouldnt mind fixing this series 2 headlight but if it cant be done/to expensive then will not bother.

Yea bud that's fixable it shouldn't be to much but don't quote me, I had worse fairing damage to my motorbike, they welded it, sanded it, and painted it, good as new, since its on the inside they will probably only need to weld it back together as long as you dont mind it looking a little funny

EDIT: Also try pretty much any motorcycle repair shop it's pretty much a required skill for them since when you crash your going to break plastics also they might be a little be more well equipped for a smaller job since its not like a crack in your front bar or whatnot

Thanks for the reply mate, actually replaced my headlight so this is a spare. Just deciding if it's worth fixing and flogging off... I'll try some bike repair places and see what sort of $ to fix then work out if it's feasible. Cheers.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..   
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
