Keep an eye on eBay I have seen genuine brand new ones on there around 800 that people bought and didn't get around to fitting. Yours cannot be repaired imo. that's not gonna sand out or come out with a bit of heat lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These bars and there other parts aren,t cheap . Ask the panel shop for your old parts back as the bar its self can be repaired and resold...

Cjafpv Member 110 Member For: 9y 8m 21d Posted 15/08/14 07:35 AM Share Posted 15/08/14 07:35 AM (edited) In my opinion (in no way is it an experts) I don't really think that's repairable had a similar level of damage on another car of mine a few years back panel shop and insurance bloke said it needed a new front bar. Oh and I know money can be an issue sometimes but if you can avoid it please don't get an aftermarket bar you have a genuine fpv idk in my opinion don't cheapen your car if you know what I mean keep an eye out on eBay as others have said genuine bars come up from time to time as wel as gumtree Edited 15/08/14 07:37 AM by Cjafpv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
