Sorry to hear to hear about your bad luck, hopefully it is all repairable, and damage to the inner wing, chassis , etc

Gorilla glue and twine and it will be good as new.

looking good,

there are different ways to do the trim

some use a hot air gun, very carefully , even heard of peanut butter being used, wd40 etc

did see some black trim restorer on ebay

used a few from halfords but don't seem to last very long

like the actual black paint, that u put on with a rag

Glad it's back together again. The bumper is a different colour from the arch trim, because it's a different colour! There were two plastic colours available, grey and black. Your bumper is grey, but the arch trim is black. Only paint will make the grey look black

wonder if something like this would work

trouble is , sometimes can see the line marks or where it's uneven

did see on ebay some paint that could be applied by a cloth , was very thin paint that could be built up in layers

Looks like it was left outside during a particularly heavy downpour

Yer in the wrong section. Ours dun't fall apart when wet (or rust, or leak).

tonytherunner · Mar 8, 2017

tonytherunner · Mar 8, 2017

Sorry to hear about your wee knock. Good to see it back together (mostly) Over here the sump guard frames are cheap from breakers.

Oh and for grey plastic I've had good results from this. http://www.halfords.com/motoring/car-cleaning/wheel-tyre-cleaning/carplan-black-trim-wax-375ml
but last time I was sorting a dull wing mirror I used this.
