Hi,  I have a rigid carbon fibre skid/bash plate on my offroad motorbike. It has worn at the bottom rear edges on each side, creating small V-shaped gaps at these points. This doesn't compromise the main purpose of the unit but I am concerned that the gaps may eventually start to crack or split along the bottom of the unit and creep towards the  front, thus eventually destroying the structural integrity of unit. They are not cheap and I would like to keep for as long as possible.  I am not sure which product to choose to create patch repairs which might help to delay or even prevent further damage.  Rigid sheet? Flexible sheet? 50mm Carbon Fibre Tape?  I suspect rigid sheet will be best but I am trying to cut down need for cutting. My last school report for Art & Craft read: "Good creative ideas but poor workmanship" That sort of sums it up as little has changed in that regard since schooldays!  If I use the tape, can this be made rigid  by use of a resin which doesn't require any technical processes? And which glue would I need to bond the tape to the unit either side of the gap.  Thanks for all help, Crashalot  

• It really didn't seem like a difficult question. Just want to know what I should buy from this company (Yes, that's right, this is a potential customer, one of those annoying people, the ones who pay their money for the company's goods whereby the company survives, the staff get to keep their jobs and, hopefully, a profit is made for inward investment creating more jobs, and expensive cars, big houses and nice holidays for the bosses).
  
  Someone please have a go at answering sensibly. I've tried to sort it out for myself, I've looked at the product descriptions, I have an idea of which products I should go for but I'm not a composites (easy or difficult) man, I'm an office worker, so I'd appreciate some input from someone with actual knowledge of the subject matter.

  
  

  Thanks
