Gents,

Total novice looking for advice. I am a novice car restorer (engine builds etc.) but lacking in bodywork skills. I have been lucky enough to purchase a Lambo with carbon fibre side skirts. They have been damaged by kerbs. I have just been quoted £4000 to have them repaired which seems nonsense.  the damage is low down so I reckon the weave may not match perfectly but as it is dark it should not matter too much. Do you think this could be repaired using one of your kits, and if so which one should I purchase? Regards, John

Guys,

Just noticed your replies, many thanks for them. I reckon I am going to try to repair with resin and make the repair a feature in carbon fibre. I will send you photographs of the finished article, and if it does not look so good, then I am going for the paint option in either white or black.

On another point dismantle the front suspension over the weekend and the inner panels are all carbon fibre so I may have a good at remaking one, the creative juices are flowing!

John
