Yeah i saw that & was going to bid. Think you will have to wait til you get it to see how to fix it, if it is just split, you should be able to just glue it together  :daumenhoch:

just didnt know if there was any "propper process" for fixing plastics. like i have seen these motor bike places advertising to repair cracked fairing etc etc

cheers all

That seller Darren is very fast at shipping stuff out, so you should get it soon.

As for fixing it like motorbike farings, these are plastic welded, this is ok, but they need to be filled & painted after :( :(

Super glue and a tin of activator should repair just a crack  :daumenhoch:
