    The front holes on my front aerodynamic panel on my 550, pn- 65663900, have been ripped out over the years.
    Does anybody have any suggestions for repairing the panel that will last? Or is my only option trying to find a new one? I'm afraid that most epoxies that I know about won't stick to the plastic panel very well and any repair made is only going to be temporary.
    TIA

    I'm in the same boat as you. I wanted to just go with a new one but the guys at Pro-Sport who used to sell the aftermarket one aren't returning my emails and Scuderia Car Parts wants 1k for the tray plus 700 to ship it.

    You could try flexible epoxy repair for bumpers + paint. You may need to epoxy in a plastic repair first if you need structural support for the bolt holes.

    I used it to fill a large hole in my 308 rear swim platform and it came out way better than I expected. I think I did a thread on it.

    There is a good how to website for an mg of you Google it.
