9-5 2.2tid Linear Sport Estate. The lad has demolished that fragile bit of ABS under the nose (chin spolier) on a verge or some wintery snow. Is it worth trying to replace it or shall I just strip it off? It'll hardly notice.
IIRC my old '05 2.2TID Linear Sport didn't have one, the Vector models did.
I think they were just an 'add on'
My MY 2003 Linear has a split front lip spoiler, Vector's and Aero's have a full one -piece one - which was also available as part of the accessory sport kit....IIRC the back screw (wheel arch end) holds wheel arch liner to front bumper. I had to replace one after catching the low growing hedge in Tesco's car park. Cost me about £40 for the part (part nos. 4561007 off side and 4660991 near side) but the fitting was easy.
My old Vector had one, possibly the same. Went to station, parked with it over a kerb. Picked up 4 people + loads of luggage, reversed off kerb .... grrrr.
Anyway, I found it was made of pretty tough stuff, quite flexible. Back home, I pushed and shoved it into the shape it was before, which left just one big split from bottom to almost the top. There is a lip along the bottom, about 1 cm wide, so I got a bit of meccano and riveted it to the top of the lip to join up the 2 halves. You can only see the rivets if you lie on the ground under the front spoiler.
The whole thing was now reasonably sound. That just left the crack, so I got out my ersatz dremel (black-something brand) and made the crack a V shaped valley. Next, used a hot glue gun to fill the valley, next a quick trim with a sharp blade to level it off and a bit of touch up paint applied by brush.
Not perfect, but unless you come across someone who enjoys rolling around on the ground commenting on other people's chin spoilers, it will be un-noticed.
Sometimes you can just get lucky!! :o ::)
