S5 TURBO II Front Lip Repair?

Hello, Im trying to figure out how to fix my front lip. It has a couple cracks in it. what would be the best to hold the pieces back together?

OR, does anyone here have a S5 TII lip for sale that is in good shape without cracks? Thanks

only thing i can think of that will hold is thin steel and rivets ..it will look like **** but it will hold...epoxy won't due it..the epoxy will crack..i noticed mine was done and it broke in the same place..IMO..get a used one ..good luck

Hey, you're that retard from the SSAC thread! Well done!

If you want to find people selling things, go to the FOR SALE => PARTS section. It seems you have a knack for going to the wrong sections, doesn't it?

BTW, before the thread got closed by dDuB..I was going to say. You need to NOT cuss at the most knowledgeable people on this forum. They can HELP YOU to not make stupid decisions, and perhaps help you control you're rage towards anyone smarter than you. Ta-ta!

Here are some pics. Its a pretty bad crack, and the previous owner tried to rivit it back together... Anyhow, fiberglass dries kinda slow and I have no way of holding the pieces together for that long. Can i use 5 minute epoxy to hold the pieces where i want them, and then fiberglass them?

Ok, I think I got it all fixed up. A buddy showed me how to use fleece, a stereo backstrap, and fiberglass resin to get it all fixed. Just need to do some sanding today and primer... Then were gonna paint it this afternoon. Hopefully it looks good!! Thanks for the help
