Hi guys
As the title suggests I've managed to damage my driver's side splash guard. A combination of Eibach lowered springs and 15 mm front spacers has meant that there was some minor rubbing resulting in this damage.
Can anyone advise on if it's worth it trying to repair this? If so how's best? If not I'll just replace.

As usual thanks in advance :thumbsup:

Don’t replace it until you’ve sorted out the cause, otherwise you’ll be back in the same position very shortly.

Definitely worth repairing though... Keeps the splashes away from your headlights and other electronics in the engine bay.

Thanks for that Papa Zee
What I should have asked is how best to repair it?
I've since ordered a new one which I'll fit as soon as it arrives :thumbsup:

No worries, I shouldn’t think they’d be that expensive. Anyway with plastic parts its just better to replace. :thumbsup:
