Just don't know what to do! Just got back in touch with Jonnyboy who is selling the rep ones at a very reasonable price. I may buy one of those as it will be much cheaper! would just need to get the sills done which shouldn't be too hard. Worth the repair or try and sell? Advice please!

Are these of a good standard? Guessing this is a similar thing that Jonnyboy will be selling? http://www.ebay.co.u...=item1e762be5c9

If you have somewhere to store it, I'd get it fixed when you return. Either that or sell it just now and buy another when you come back.

UPDATE!!

 

Hi all, finally looking good, i decided to sell my clam on as there was too much damage and didn't want to have a weak clam fitted. Sold that on for a fair price and bought one of Jon's clams. 

 

Here are some photo's of the clam loosely fitted

Took it to my body shop guy who was a little nervous but he did lots of research which inspired lots of confidence. I went to have a look how he was getting on today and i'm very happy with the results so far! I had to drill out the holes to the correct size and the clam was strengthened where it meets the rad housing. i also bought some black mesh from eBay for the grille and cut that to size. The finish he's achieved is amazing and i can't wait to see it once he's done 3 hours more polishing and it's in naturals light. Really happy with the work he's done and the price given! Would highly recommend to anyone needing work on the south coast.

Looking good. Nice finish to the paint.

[danyeates]

Nice one, its looking great!

[jonnyboy]

Looks fantastic! Did the bodyshop thing prep levels required were minimal enough? The GRP guys are sorting out the middle by pushing the product down a couple of mm so that wont be required now. Same with the holes including the fog light brackets!

 

Chuffed to bits with how thats come out

PS permission to steal pics for the site?

Yeah i'm really pleased Jon, He said he was impressed with the clam and said it's better than most. Said they're not nice to work on though because they can't be put in the oven etc. I'm really impressed with the paint finish though it will look fantastic with some wax! Can't wait to get it back next weekend!

 

Thanks again Jon and i hope you have success with them, as it's a great product.

Our paint shop said they were going to DA it back and reprime so he could be sure it was prepped well enough, but he seemed happy with it. I'm away at he moment, but I'm looking forward to seeing it next week.

[jonnyboy]

Thats a good sign then it was in bare gelcoat not primed  A DA and prime with minimal other prep is just what we were after.
