Fitted my front lip to my car a few weeks ago and have already managed to get a crack in it. IMG_6251.jpgHad a nasty battle with a speed hump two nights ago, and lost.. and I'm not even on coils.

The crack isn't too bad, but it's very visible.

Just wondering, does anyone have experience with fiber lips? How long can you scrape them round until they decide to give up an snap into two pieces?

This is the crack so far; Just wondering, obviously it'll be a weaker part of the lip now.. but is there anyway I can maybe mould it or whatever to make it stronger in a sense?

Thanks!

How thick is the lip? You could use a long plate of metal with a few holes in it and use self tapping screws from underneath, and screw it in from both sides of the crack to reinforce it.

That's actually a real good idea, I'll definitely be looking into that. Once I'm back from work, I'll be straight onto it. Thanks for that!

Fix it with black kevlar , it wont break again or scuff off , then fit a thin rubber or teflon bottom to avoid scuffing the lip off all the time

plastic or fiberglass same fix , if its glass you need to fix the crack , plastic - plastic weld it

Even better, sounds like it'll help more than the other options. Thanks for that, an thanks everyone for your input!
