I have some front bar damage...it was damaged enough for me to have to pick up 4 pieces of my front bar lol ....

Looking to get it re-firbreglassed and a full respray same color.

I need re-assurance that they will do the fibreglassing well most importantly and ofcourse no drips etc etc on the paint work....

Can anyone recommend a place i can take it to that they have been to?

IF you bar is in pieces dude throw it out and get a new one. Fixing it up is simply not worth the time/effort required to get it done and look good. You will either pay through the nose for something you dont need to, or have a really crappy looking job done.

If you need places to spray for you, PM me your whereabouts/location and ill hook u up with someone.

Yeah well that was my original thoughts. But i have been advised that it would cost me more to get a front bar ...

Anyone know how much an admiration front bar is?

Brand new? Lots.

You can get stock front bars pretty easily, try the WTB thread and someone might help you out soon enough.

yeah thats so fkd! I just got quoted over 1k without shipping WTF?@#!$#@

I think it would be better if i just re-fibreglassed it ....

And looks heaps dodgy. You should be able to get a 2nd hand stock bar for 2-300. Strip it and prep it yourself and then send it off to a bodyshop to be painted.

Ah i see it's not a stock bar from your WTB thread. If you're going to get it re-fibreglassed be prepared to pay for a good job or put up with a dodgy one.

If you want really top work done, speak with Mick from MiColor:
MiColour - Dissik St.
Cheltenham
Mick - 0419153283

He isn't cheap. However he will only do top work. My missus smashed a side skirt on my Soarer, and he rebuilt the thing even though it had missing pieces, color matched perfectly.

Certainly speak with him, let him know Daniel from Import Monster refereed you. Do be prepared for a $$$ quote, however you know you will get a top job done.
