Think that should repair easy enough....I'm reckoning this one will fibreglass ok once I've got round to picking the badger out of it, (and there's only an inch or so holding it on at either end of the crack). Better a kerb than a biker though! :thumbsup

If it's been up a kerb in a hurry, is it worth getting a geo done too??? :?

Aye that was probably me... nice to be spotted out and about - i'm usually looking out for other elises or flashes/waves - that was the end of a long weekend's driving so I was probably just concentrating on getting home to bed!

It's amazingly difficult to get quotes from some people - it's like they don't want some easy cash or something!
