    F10 - Urethane plastic spoiler repair. DIY or dealer?

    I chewed my front spoiler on a curb stop a little bit. Is this body shop only or do people do it themselves?

    Did this to my baby a last year. Shop wanted $850 to fix. I bought some touch up paint and covered up the mess. Granted mine was on the lower part of the spoiler and not visible unless you get real close and are laying on the ground.

    How about posting a picture of the damage.

    I was able to get a repair done by a pro for $250 including repainting the bottom third of the front bumper which cleaned up a whole bunch of scrapage. The damage I did was a 1" wide nip right on the bottom lip. While underneath I found an uglier but harder to see scrape. He was able to match perfectly because the original 3m was put on new at the dealer so the paint was completely un-weathered. Very pleased about the results and I have new 3m in place already. I have discovered there are urethane repair kits out there but he was so cheap I had no desire to fix on my own.
