    I'd like to know how this is 'easily' fixable?

    Awsome little car! I'm going to buy my girlfriend one to replace her 8 year old Mitsubishi Mirage. Either that or a Golf.

    Should be fairly easy to trim it to fit.

Good luck,, thanks for the interest. ssman
    Ahh I C. i had a suspicion they were the fin lites from Speedy cause those are the ones I've been chasing down. Sweet. Thanks for that.

    Cheers for that. Any chance if it okay with you to tell me what coin you paid for it and what tyres you got? Frankston is only a 20min drive away so will go there this week. You can PM me if ifs not convenient to post.

    thanks for your interest, as I see it at the bottom of the inner finder, I have bent a alum angle (curved) piece and bolted it to the back side of inner fender than braced back to a bolt behind inner finder to pull the funny plastic bit away from the rub area. good luck with it, its not to hard just meticulous stuff. ssman
