Hi all. Attended the Wagga AFD on the weekend and on the last cruise b4 dinner on saturday I crunched the gutter preety bad when leaving bolton park. Split the lower lip of the spoiler on the left hand side. Does anyone know if these can be replaced? Or is it a whole new front bar?

You can buy just new pods. They should be sikaflex'd on.
You can try replace them with Plastic parts, otherwise from AWC they are $110 for the Fibreglass, for the pair. LG

You will have to drill the rivets out, then prise them off as they are held on with sikaflex too.

Hi James,
mate really sorry that this has happened. The driveway is a bit tricky but if you get it on the right angle it's usually ok. FTG sell genuine pods for around $120 a set, I would go these over fibreglass any day, Im told the fibreglass ones just fall apart after a few nicks on gutters etc which is bound to happen!
