i saw XG (ute) XR sideskirts at a wreckers yesterday, one is perfect, the other is snapped almost off in a section.
its snapped around 0.5m from an end. its attached by one side of the sideskirt, so the broken sideskirt has one edge undamaged. its fibreglass, so would there be anypoint to trying to fix it? if so, would it be easy |

Shouldnt be too bad. If you get it off, line everything up, and join it on the backside, taking care not to let the fibreglass build up where it touches the panel, then you can repair the side you see without needing to worry about strength too much

i havent got pictures. i should of. its on a xg ute at the wreckers.
im buying a spare wheel cover from them so i can get a good deal on the sideskirts. im thinking no more than $50 (for the skirts) due to damage.

if its an original skirt, then it will be easy to fix because it can be plastic welded. otherwise its just a fiber glass patch

they dont look tooo bad, give em a good clean, and re-enforce with fibre glass on the inside and bog up the outside to seal any cracks
