hi all
bit of advice/ tips from the experts please
basically picked up this bit of rare touring car history, its a 1999 Vauxhall Vectra BTCC touring car front splitter, as you can see its took abit of a beating in its time, this a little project for myself and to eventually fit it to my car for show perpose
as you can see i have damage to this corner its cracked the carbon and actually took a chunk out of it and theres a hole, now im not after repairing it so that it can be used in racing terms.... but i would like to repair it so cosmetically it looks like new my plan was to fill the hole and smooth over the damage with fiberglass and then wetlay the whole splitter in carbon..... your thoughts please guys
many thanks
phil
