Hey guys,

I am about to cry, reverseing my EF XR6 and ripped of the front spoiler, have you guys had this happen, and how much am i up for to get it fixed, the whole thing is totallly torn.

 

[EvilChief]

if it is beyond repair u prolly be looking at around 400 to 500 for spoiler plus painting ...

if its not too bad you can get it plastic welded for a few hundreds plus painting ...

In general I would say under 1k for sure ...

u would probably be better off getting a whole new one... as the plastic welding... although it works wont be a strong as the original therefore will probably crack or tear again. best of luck.

i gotta agree with u there R00 ... its just a cheaper solution ...

 

[sleepwalker]

you can prolly get a nice spoiler from one of many body kit places for the same price as the new one, maybe even cheaper. It would look a lot better than a standard one too. Something to think about.

Cost from Ford is $577.50.
Cost from Fibresports is $199.00.

 

[TIKFD6]

Are the Fibresports ones Fibreglass or Poly?
Id be looking for a polybar , it might cost a bit morethan glas, but it will be stronger.
If it was plastic welded properly, it will last as long as you dont do the same thing again.

Dont do this with out insurance guys. I got qoutes today, all around $2500, front spoiler is 2 parts, each worth $750 - 900 each. They will dismantle the whole front to put in all back together in one peice. Ouch.

 

[EvilChief]

$2500?? are they making those damn things out of gold these days?

The aftermarket ones from fibresports are made of fibreglass (as well as all other aftermarket spoilers. Just have a hunt around wreckers too ... maybe u fall lucky.

Try the Part section of the Online trading post.
Ive seen full EF/L boby kits at some wreckers in Vic for $400.

I did this to my car once. Went to the local shops and parked. Didnt notice the front spoiler over the gutter. Backed up to go home and yep, cos the cars lowered the gutter just ripped off the left hand side of the front spoiler. I was cursing. Tore it in the middle. Had to replace with new spoiler. Bout $500 and a couplke hundred to paint it. real dumb thing to do. Im alot more careful nowdays
