Noticed today that someone got a little too close to the Eight while trying to park their car and gave my nose a serious whack which has done a lot of damage and this now means that I need an entire new front (I need a new bottom section as the splitter has cracked) If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated...
Wanted: Entire nose in Arctic silver

I suffered a similar fate. I showed it to my autodetailer who said it could be plastic welded and repaired for a fraction of the cost of a new one. Perhaps yours could be fixed?

JimmyAwhat do you keep hitting ??
I had my entire front end replaced courtesy of Tesco UK. Every little helps, especially when you are only using one of your Protected No Claims chances on 'accidental damage' May as well make it worthwhile if you're gonna claim

Is it like this?
I "touched" a kerb which was enough to reveal two old cracks running from the leading edge for about 2 to 3 inches at the positions shown in the photo. Somebody had previously bodged them with filler, crap work, but hidden sufficiently so that I hadn't spotted what was there.
Anyway my local garage couldn't weld (they said its the wrong type of plastic) and a check on the web parts sites indicated that the part is possibly no longer produced. I asked the garage to do what ever they could. What they came up with was ingenious...
To restore the structural strength, they rivetted two metal plates to the underside, having first milled a suitable piece of the plastic away so that the plates were flush with the bottom surface. This was then filled and sanded to make a seamless repair, finally a couple of beads of resin were applied to the inside bottom corners, and another standard respray to put it back to original condition.
The cost was about £200 and I couldn't be more pleased. Seb, its Newdigate Bodyshop (just south of Dorking) on 01306 631777 and you should ask for "Pete" who did the work on mine. I've spoken to him and if you decide to follow it up, he'll know what you're talking about.
