Dent or deisgn rear plastic mudguard

(1/2) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Whilst looking for parts I had to move my rear part mudguard - is the dent (lower left foreground)  supposed to be there or is part of the design?

I remember it being a pig to remove - plus I will need to try & make it look better than it does in the photo any tips on that process welcome!

Its ok Ted, mines the same  :) I cleaned mine up with soap and water then heated it up with a heat gun which brings the mould oils back to the top so I’m told, the finished result was like new again, obviously been careful not to melt it

Is a hair drier hot enough or do I need to use my electric paint stripper/remover/blow torch  and hold it a good distance away>

4wDaz:
Try the hair dryer first but I used a electric hot air gun, be careful because you could soon melt it
