Is this Front splitter repairable? (fibreglass)

[B16]

So as the title really, this splitter was taken off an E46 M3 at my work and was just laying around ready to go in the skip. I bodged it together and offered it up against the 350 and it looks asthough you could make it fit the stock bumper with some tinkering.

Just wondered if anyone has repaired anything similar or any tips on how I should attack this? 🤔ðŸ‘ðŸ¾

 

Cheers guys

Yes can be done, it would need some sort of internal brace, perhaps out of close fitting wood and use rein to bond, then grind back the top layers of glass, and bandage with mat and resin, obviously it cant remain in the carbon look and will need paint but it should be fine, i have repaid far more complicated parts with good results.

Yes, repairable but not worth the time and effort,

 

Bin it and start again.

Nothing to lose by having a go,I suppose it depends how patient you are and how much spare fiddling time you have?.

[veilside z]

Yes if you have the time buddy

[marzman]

Why not ditch the broken parts and use it to make some corner splitters like on P15ULT's old zed?

Cheers for the advice everyone. After seeing those corner splitters i think I might give something like that a go! They look awesome!

 

*heads to YouTube to watch more fibreglass tutorials*

So this is where I've got to so far. It's only rough as I don't want to spend too much time getting them perfect before I know I'm 100% on them, so this is merely an experiment really. I will try and get them fixed on tomorrow and see how they look.

 

Once I line the outside edge where it sweeps up with the side of the bumper the area that was cut should be tucked underneath the bumper for the most part anyway. If I like how they look I'll take get them filled nicer and re-finished in black or maybe carbon!

They look sweet brother. Need to show us pics wen uve test fitted them. What was the front splitter originally from?

[B16]

Thanks! ðŸ‘🾠I'll be sure to add some pics with them fitted! It was from an e46 M3. It would have looked like this before I FUBAR'd it ðŸ˜ðŸ˜‚

[GizmoGold]

This looks like a fun lil project! Looking forward to seeing the finished result

[marzman]

Nice work pal. Got the potential to look great!

Did you get these done? Interested to see them on the car.

Afraid not, I think it could work well but would need more work to make them fit properly, as they were there was big area of fresh air in between them and the bumper... I'm waiting for my splitter to be delivered from Tarmac as we speak 🙄😂

Got a few pics but they won't upload at the mo. I imagine it'd probably be easier to start from scratch or bastardise a 350 splitter that has some damage though 🤔😂

I'm pretty sure I have a set of brand new 1x1 twill carbon splitters as above in my garage if anyone's looking for them
