Front R1 lip chip... repair possible?

Obviously nothing is going to look as good as simply replacing the peice... but my budget doesn't have room for a $200 peice of plastic that would simply look better. So I'm curious if there is anyway to patch the large chip in my lip? (See attachment, left front has large chip missing). Possibly some fiberglass that I sand down to smooth out & paint? I know it won't look perfect... but maybe there is something I can do to help smooth out my lip's big chip?

Any advice?

Yeah, just get a new one. The new ones are VERY reasonable, and make a HUGE difference in how the car looks. You get your money's worth bigtime.

I got mine for $110 during the recent fire sale... How did you damage it? Concrete parting stop, or driveway?

it would be cheaper to just buy a new one from malloy like everyone else says. I only paid 118 for mine. You cant beat brand new for that price.
