    Hey everyone.



    First off. Sorry if I put this in the wrong place. Mods please move it if you need to



    I baught a poly urethane front lip and installed it. Unfortunately I didn`t secure the middle properly and when I was driving wind pushed it down and it was scraping the ground. Once I got a chance to stop and get out to look. I saw their was a bite about a foot long out of the lip.







    You could see what I mean. In the middle where it goes up. That`s where the lip was damaged.



    Does anyone know how I could fix this?



    I heard of some people doing plastic welding or something like that. Any ideas are welcomed!



    Thanks!

    Sorry, the only way to fix that is by replacing it with another one. If it was a painted piece and you still had the chunk that broke off then maybe, but because this is semi-textured (?), you`re not going to be able to do anything.

    If it is poly, and not abs plastic, you might be able to let it sit in the sun and let it heat up to reshape it back to the original form.
