Tomaky Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Wanted great condition red nose cone. No cracking. Sadly my pal didnt have the handbrake on and rolled it into the garage wall 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Not easy to find one that matches the color of your car. Unfortunately the red gelcoat is probably the most affected to discoloration due to sunlight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvd8n Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Personally I wouldn't discount one in a contrasting colour if a good one comes up. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Good shout, or maybe even have a go at a DIY repair in a different colour as you've nothing to loose. A few on here with black nose cones look the business.

Tomaky Posted September 7 Author Share Posted September 7 New this could end this way 😂😂 Gunna have a better look at it today. There are hairline cracks behind the more visual cracks 🤦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Colonial Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 That’s really not bad at all, just annoying for you. Drive it until winter, then take it to a reputable local repair shop. Making sure your “pal” eats the bill, of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Carrot Steve Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Repair and wrap it maybe? Could have whatever colour or style you like then. I've often wondered what a Westfield nosecone wrapped in the Union flag would look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvd8n Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 It's a bit 2000s but I was thinking of sticker bombing it. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Colonial Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 A good body shop can paint that to match, no problem. Don’t forget that a new nose cone will require new fasteners and installing them, whereas repairing the existing one eliminates that hassle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far we have pulled it back in line and internal patched. I have a westfiekd gel coat tub on tje way going to touch up tje main damage as best i can. Will polish the not very well pictured cracks in the gel coat and fill then polish back. Ill have a job making it worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvd8n Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 That's strange, I got my blue from Westfield no problem. If you do a search there are companies that do gel in a huge range of colours, generally chandlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
