Well I guess it had to happen at some point, I've just scraped the front carbon on my V8s on a kerb stone. Only minor damage but still annoying

I''m assuming I'm not the first and it can be fixed. Can anyone recommend somebody please, I'm North West based but will go anywhere required

Thanks for your help

I doubt that would be repairable other than putting some gel coat over it to bring the black back through, you would never get the weave right.

Great, thanks for that. Can you remember if it was a company called Wheels Approved ? Looks like the place in Woking from Google

Thanks for your help

I feel very lucky. I hardly ever park nose in but yesterday was forced to and it was all a bit tight and did not want my rear end sticking out so to speak. Anyway I hit the kerb stone with a hell of a clunk. Got out full of dread and nary a scratch or mark let alone anything worse. I think I was lucky and hit it straight on rather than scraped it and it felt worse than it was. Back to reversing in.

CarbonFibreRepair are amazing! and that's an easy repair for them. I cracked mine.. they strengthened matched filled in gaps in the weave and re-lacquered see before and after below! amazing finish..

I've had some bubbling ad stone chips on the DBS and will use these guys again.

This is great to know, I'm sure the splitter on my V8VS will get damaged at some point and assumed that it would have to be replaced.
