Is it possible to fix this?



  Clio 172
Anyone have any experience with fixing carbon fibre? To be honest I'm not sure if the pictures will show it but I think it's just the clearcoat that is cracked and I don't think the carbon is damaged at all, is there any way to fill this or would it just look crap? Would it be better to get it sanded back and redone with new clearcoat?
It's right at the front of my bonnet

You'd have to sand it back, it'll probably be the gel coating that's cracked. It's crap anyway, so as you suggested already I'd take it all back and lacquer the whole bonnet

It will never be the same again, trust me, I bought a carbon fibre bonnet from someone on here I was told it was ready to fit, fact was it was fresh out the mould no lacquer, after 3 attempts of doing the lacquer/flatting and prepping ect my painter gave up and we painted it instead, air pockets and millions of "fish eye" effects all over the bonnet. To do it properly it will have to be taken back t the weave, impossible.

It's not impossible. It's not even that difficult (although my painter is a legend).Yours sounds like he was having a rough day! Carbon skinned though.
