    Unless it's really destroyed it would be fairly easy to repair.

    A new one is $4000.

    John,

    Take it to a Boat repair shop,, or a Marine repair shop,, they do Fiberglass all the time.
    ( Fiberglass fixes everything,, wood, fiber glass.... etc.)
    Also, get some seafood while your there.
    ;)

    Good Luck,
    Edwardo

    If you have the big pieces it can be fixed.

    Truly! I tan over my SS chin spoiler after it fell off somewhere north of 80mph. It was shredded! Despite what I believed to be damage beyond fixing, the body shop repaired and painted it to perfection!

    Find a good paint/panel shop and have them repair it mate. :):)

    They will also be able to give you a quote for the repair. :):)

    Looks pretty good already!

    There's really nothing to it, the painting is the "hard part" and you'd still have to do that with a new bumper.

    Bring your car to him and have him paint match.

    Difficult to judge a color by a computer picture.

    I have to agree... I think you might be taking a chance with the metal's integrity if you try to have it repaired. I'd be finding a new wheel...

    Good to see you were able to get the bumper repaired as opposed to having to buy a new one.

    As for the wheel - don't take any chances, your health and safety is not worth that risk.

    If that's a stock 348 wheel, they are so cheap to buy "used" that it doesn't pay to fix it.

    There are probably dozens for sale on Ebay. Just make sure you get the correct wheel as each corner is unique.

    That piece is a pretty inexpensive clip that is held in by 2 spring clips. Check to make sure they have all their pieces and that they can still clip onto something. Next check to make sure that the nibs are there to clip on to. I replaced one of mine and it wasn't really expensive as I recall. Got it from Daniel at Ricambi. You just line the piece up and tap it into place with the palm of your hand.
