Howdy boys (and girls, specialy the one with the red~celi wink.gif *panting*)

Anywho, I am a poor college student up in Santa Rosa, CA and someone hit the front end of my Celi last week turning right into my lane from an adjacent street (I had the right of way thank you).

Anyways, my front fender got destroyed so I bought a pair of the z3 fenders off of cyber best buy. The fenders are great all except for one crack in one of them. I could send this back of course, but I think its a simple fix, and its not in a visible area either. It is at an unvisible location from the exterior, but it is close enough to the mounting points that it risks breaking off from the vibrations.

I have NEVER done fiberglass work and I am curious as to what I should do to fix the crack.

For those of you pimpstas here at 6gc that do all your body work, please enlighten me on the manner of which I should pursue fixing this crack (and please be specific with amounts of material - as much as can be anyways).

Thanks guys!

Will
