I've made a blonde moment whilst cutting my front wings today, I place the notch before the mark i'd made and not after it.

As they still need painting, is it possible to add the material back in? and how?

anythings possible with fibreglass, filler, and paint
well, maybe not anything...

people will disagree, but the crap fibreglass kits should be ok for this. try and fix it to the approximate shape, sand it back, filler to smooth it out and paint

if you still have the piece you cut out then yes. Cut the piece to the right size and bond into place on the back side using fibreglass matt and then v cut the groove on the front and use gelcoat filler to fill in the front.

Even if you haven't got the piece you can still fill it but its easier if you have. I'm sure someone else will be along with a better description soon .

yes, you can fix it. Even if you don't have the piece you cut out. Parcel tape on the outside then GRP on the inside. Sand back and add body filler. Sand that and paint.

Cheers folks, even though i love the smell of cut fibreglass ( i know it's not health ), I've never played with the stuff.

Looks like a good excuse for a respray

Take a mould off a section of the good bit.
Then lay that over the section to be repaired. That way, you can lay in gel and then fibreglass and resin to leave a finish.

now those arches are close, after the repair I hope u can get the wheel off without removing the arch

It's the camera angle, they went on with the arch in place, there is about 30mm between the tyre and the arch.
