50mm on standard shocks :o

How is the general ride with standard shocks? :rolleyes:

Mending it your self would be the cheapest way then getting it sprayed :wink:

ouch m8, soz 2 hear bout it.
I've bin debatin blendin a splitter on an havin it nice an smooth like that, but i think not now, 2 much hassle if summin like that happens.
2 repair urs, hack out the loose bits, sand it all down with ruff grade, fill with fibreglass paste, sand, smooth with filler (p 40) and paint. hope that helps :)

You want to try driving round swindon then, the place is full of soddin spead bumps.
One of them in particular is that bad even standard cars struggle to get over it, first time i tried it the car got stuck!!
