    I took my F12 on a 1200 mile rally through the desert with the FCA and now I am paying the price.

    Does anyone know the best way to repair the black plastic piece on my front bumper? Please see picture below. It's the part that moves in to cool the brakes and I figure when it moved in the rocks from the road got thrown up by the wheels and peppered it real good.

    Yes. atttached photo. I inadvertently removed the black trim paint from around part of the windshield of my former 360 Spider while cleaning. I was in shock. After doing some research I found Eastwoods Trim Paint and it was a perfect match, much to my relief. I applied four light coats to cover the exposed aluminum trim. I suspect your repair should be easier being low on the body.
