12 Plastic repairs
WARNING
Please observe all relevant safety regulations. Safety-related
components that would no longer meet functional require‐
ments after a repair (e.g. the absorption of impact energy) must
not be repaired.
Repairs that can be performed using plastic repair set include re‐
pairs to painted plastic body panels, such as the bumpers or
exterior mirror housings. Before starting a repair it is important to
check carefully whether the repair is feasible and economical (i.e.
repair or fit new parts?).
Plastic panels with a structured surface can also be repaired in
this way. However, it will not be possible to achieve quite the
original surface quality of a new part.
12.1 Repairing dents
