Repairing Cracked Carbon Fiber

[mADmAN]

Anyone knows where to repair carbon fiber in PJ/Subang/Shah Alam?? My CF spoiler is cracked...i think some idiot tried to steal it by ripping it out :(

its cracked at the seams... the part where the 2 pieces are joined together...so hopefully itll be an easy fix.

Is carbon fiber can be repair? :hmmmm:

 

[mADmAN]

its cracked at the seams... the part where the pieces meetand stuck together...basically the glue cracked la......the sheet itself looks alright.

thats why im hoping it can be repaired.

Bro... from the picture it looks like cannot repair anymore... cause is quite bad already.

dont think CF could be repaired......unless u put fiber on it rub it down
& repaint to CF look again...

 

[mADmAN]

yeah i realize after the repair its gonna look a lil off....

but at least the individual shets look ok. no cracks. just the point where the sheets meet...which is why the crack is in a straight line

my friend did repair his CF hood at racecraft. and his damage was much worst than yours.
his hood flipped off when high speed on highway due to no hood pins installed.

but even though repairable, it needed a paint job, and thus my friend paint it matte black..he doesn't care though,because the only downside was the hood now doesn't resemble the shiny, impressive 3D look of carbon fibre. other than that, it is still CF.

car is satria GTI.

 

[DanzEterna]

wah, hood flipped off ah.......
so better install bonnet pins la like that rite........

MKMD428,

Bro...can find out for me the details for racecraft? Their location, contact person etc.

Ive never known where they are located lol

 

[MKMD428]

danz: ya..myself also using it. i remember the time when i wasn't using one..bawak 130 pun bole goyang ooo CF hood. very scary..

madman: racecraft is located at bandar sunway.. it's the same row as N1 racing..
opposite the racecraft shop is a tire shop.

i don't have the exact location of the shop. but i can give GPS coordinates of the whereabouts of the shop.

N 03.06725 E 101.60255

 

[mADmAN]

heh....me no GPS :P

 

[MKMD428]

alamaks..... use peta rakyat then.. (ask people locally) hihihi

 

[mADmAN]

lol.....its ok la...ive already spoken to someone from racecraft via their facebook page...they say they dont repair CF products :(

 

[MKMD428]

aiks? really? i feel sorry for u then.. must be their new SOP.

 

[mADmAN]

yeah.....unfortunately :(

i found a workshop that says they might know someone who can fix it... will see how it goes with that....right now just thinking of fixing using normal fiber then repaint the thing.

 

[MKMD428]

ok..thank goodness. good luck for u madman.

 

[mADmAN]

thanks....though i doubt ill get back the original "cun-ness" of the CF and might still have to repaint...

only question is... repaint to wat colour? my car is a white EG hatch...do i paint it body colour or black or flat black?

 

[dr_snape_79]

Good luck to u bro.. It would be nice if u paint it to black. It because your car is white. It's up to you if u want plain black, metallic black, or matte black. For me, i'll paint it to black and make it same to all wheels..

 

[mADmAN]

yeah i think a solid 2k black would be decent enough la... no need matte or metallic

thinking of the same thing for the hood and boot for my white EG hatch.

thanks for the wish :D

 

[dr_snape_79]

Good bro. After this sure your car will look more "garang".. :ridinghorse::ridinghorse::ridinghorse:
