1984 928 with a broken front spoiler was created by millerlarrym47
I had just picked up my car after getting the timing belt replaced etc. Since I didn't do it my self, I needed a trip to the bank. When I pulled in, I had forgotten how far my nose stuck out and I bumped the curb and broke the right sideof the front spoiler. I can't belive I made such a bone head move. My question to our club members what are my best options ? I havent crawled under to take a look because it has been raining like crazy. I looked up a front spoiler and it was $450. and didnt look like the whole part. does this come in 2 sections. Is it hard to replace for a non mechanic? I appricate any advice.
Thanks...Larry

Well personally I would fiberglass the back, body fill the front and repaint.
You may want to stop by a local body shop and just ask them how much to repair such an item.

One of mine has a plate riveted to the back side and the rivet head are just painted black with a paint pen...I guess they clamped it really well to hold it in place while the drilled the holes as the fit is pretty tight and from anything more than about 3' away you can't tell anything different about it.
Breaking them is quite common, don't feel to bad about it... You have learned your lesson this time and I bet it will be a long time before you do that again!

+1... After all, it is just a chin spoiler.
