okay well upon my stupidity and organisation skills...i have broken a flare that i bought just recently, it is a clubman s flare bought from the mini place in padstow, anyone else done this and fixed it? or should i just buy another one?

You'll probably find they only come in sets, unless it's a front left, or rear right. They would be very hard to fix I imagine, as they're injection moulded plastic (I think) so they wouldn't be as easy to fix as fibreglass. They're very thin too.

bugger although it is a rear right... might try some superglue or model glue becuase that stuff melts the plastic as it sticks it....

try that, and use some filler or fibreglass or something to smooth it off. sand it back a bit maybe.

you want plastic "cement" (i think it might be called "polystyrene cement?) if you want to melt it a little to weld it together

is it painted?

I Don;t think the Modeling Glue will do it enough. Some of the modls I have done from Years ago (yer I know It has been some time) but they have come apart..it Give the Super Glue ago or the Loctite Super Glue I have seen Advertised of Late of Tv

one of my flares was broken into four pieces. I did a decent job of fibre glassing it back together (not perfect by a long shot, but could have been).
My flares were fibre glass to begin with though.


you could try taking a mould of the broken one and forming a fibre glass one. maybe just buy a new one though

try John at Mini King - he is close enough to you...

I only recently threw out the flares that came of my car...
