Teflon strip

b2tf · 07-05-2005, 10:42 PM

Thanks to a fox deciding to kill itself on it, the teflone strip on my front bar has a nice dent in it which i cant seem to get out, is there any way to fix it? Tried flexing it back into shape but it keeps going back to the shape of the dent.

I have a dent too from a gutter scrape... damn low suspension. Time for a front spoiler woot!!

Yes but how does that help me?!

Hehehehehe.

What about parking it in the sun on a hot day? Have heard that working before- but you may have to wait until Summer!

Could try heating it carefully maybe?

Yeah not sure, it seems flexible enough cos i can bend it a bit with my hand, but it wont stay in position. I wont be fixing it myself, going to let the panelbeaters do it as i dont want to stuff it up - Ive heard theyre a real bugger of a thing to remove then replace again.

I'll suggest heating it up to them, any other ideas on how to fix it?

Replace it with the spare brand new one I have in my garage haha.

Kidding, they are a pain to get back on. If you can't flex it back, I am not sure what to suggest.... heat would be one of my only guesses.

If i cant straighten the current one out I will take it off and put a new one on, Im sure it can be done. Another idea with minimal chance of happening is to put the bodykit on.
