Hello all. I own a 05 Mitsubishi Lancer ralliart and it seems like I have some nice deep scratches on the aero kit. How would I go by fixing this.

Well it seem that these scratches were caused by ice <_< they appear black so I dont think it's fiberglass. They are maby medium deep. Im thinking of getting some epoxy or bondo and working on it from their. Hardest thing is finding the right paint colour.

They're black because it's polyurethane, not fiberglass. Cheap **** bodywork and kits are made of fiberglass.

Light scratch - you can possibly buff out. Deeper scratch, you will need to sand, do some fill, prep, paint, reclear and buff. If you're asking on how to fix it or you don't know what material the bodywork is - that's a sign you should have a professional do it.

It will run a few hundred bucks at most.
