The resin/catalyst on the wing was probably improperly mixed, not enough resin, high humidity, temperature etc factor into its flex/brittle ability or inability LOL. Take it to a body shop that has experience with fiberglass prob just needs to be patched, bondoed or resin added. Ive seen body kits that were so pourly made that you can snap pieces of it off with your fingers let along leave it on for years.

If you think you have the *****, get some fibgerglass mat, cloth, scrim bondo and good primer with a catalyst and fix it. Then get it painted.

Its been a year and a half why would they take reponsibity?

It more of a manufactuing problem not the retailer.

This is why you dont buy repicas. Cheap fiberglass = problems later .

Heres some advice. Goto you nearest bodyshop and get it fixed.

Have the body shop fill the crack in with resin or bondo sand it and remount the wing.

Learn your lessson and buy the real thing (it will cost you less money in the long run).

How long have you had the wing on your car? And whats the reason for putting INTENSE MOTORSPORTS as if its their fault?
