Default Had a go

I've had a go at repairing the NSF headlight surround. Compared to the offside headlight, it was broken right at the join between bonnet shutline and front wing and the remaining material was pretty frail. I shaped and formed the Sugru black stuff whilst supporting it as best I could from behind ( or you'll have nothing to push against).

I admit that the repair is not fit for showroom quality but it works for me. It was annoying to see that little flap of rubber poking out - I pushed it back in on a regular basis but the constant flow of air ensured that it worked its way loose each time after a couple of days. Now it's fixed.

Whilst working on the repair, I double-checked my handiwork on the boot grommets that I've also recently repaired with black Sugru and it all looks good.
