Weinsberg Imperiale

Ops!

On to local dealer to see if spares are available and what price, otherwise I'll glass fibre it.

If you can get the corner piece off, fibre glass mesh \ resin on the inside, rub down with fine grade sandpaper and spray, you'll never see it.

That's plan B. I think it has been repaired before. Staying on until we finish this years trips, artistically placed Duct tape working for now.

£550 plus shipping from Knaus. I'm having a go at glass fibre over the winter should save a fortune. Good to know that there is one available should I need it.

Update £20 of fibreglass and filler, £50 with colour match rattle cans and here's the answer, and months of labour to get it right. Over spray was from a previous repair not me I took it off.

A little work in progress. Plastic cover broken by tyre blow out. Spare part was extortion rates. Filled and primed. Awaiting spray can and better weather for finish.

Great job and very satisfying to know you can do such a good repair and save a whole wedge of cash for more important things like more travels

Well done

Thank you.
You should see the other side! I think the semi lock down had a big hand in it and the oil filled radiator in the garage, crate of beer and good tunes on a memory stick. Push bike saddle was a great help as a last in rubbing down.

Hi there I have a Weinsberg Imperiale and have done the same with my bumper / trim at the back. It looks exactly the same as yours could you advise how you removed the part? Thanks

It hooks over a bar on the back at the high part of the corner. Before you try lifting it you have to remove all the lights on that corner and get underneath and chisel off 10 or so heat welds with the central part. Refitting I used Sikaflex. Mine had a previous repair and it was held at the side by a screw behind the marker light and into the base of the garage so I don't know how it is fixed there but guess it hooks over a similar bar to the top. Best of luck,

Hi
I managed to reverse the van overhang on some grass and it caught when pulling away and pulled part of the bumper off. It’s not really broken to be fair but I wanted to take it off and refasten more securely. Thanks for your help do you still have the same van?

 

[Clivefog]

Yes I do, fits our needs.
