Plastic-welding a broken Ur-Q rear valence...
Although I haven't made a final decision -- heck, I haven't even picked up
the car yet! -- I'm thinking a V8-powered Ur-Q should have dual exhausts
instead of a single exhaust. As such, I've started thinking about the best
way to accomplish this.
Part of me thinks I should run a pair of single outlet pipes through the
stock opening in the rear valence, which will keep the car looking externally
stock but might present some packaging difficulties; the other part of me
thinks I'd be better off by cutting a second, matching opening on the other
side of the valence and running the pipes through it instead. The only real
difficulty I foresee with this approach is finding a donor rear valence from
which to liberate the tailpipe cut-out and plastic-welding it into place on
the good valence. Does anybody have any experience with plastic-welding
these things?
Also, assuming that I decide to go this route, does anybody have a broken
rear valence they're willing to part with cheaply?
Thanks!
