Bodywork
I'm in a position now where I'd like to tidy up the bodywork on the tiger avon as there are a lot of cracks over the car. The car had
black stripes down it and when I removed them I noticed that there has been previous repair on a crack as you can see the filler.
Question is would it be cheaper to repair the cracks and paint it or just buy new bodywork.

Depends on the damage. That said body tub is £570 I think so maybe cheap in the long run to replace, but I found it a nightmare to fit.

I have been tempted to just wrap over it but can't imaging it'll be easy as the rear tub, arches and sides are all in one

ask local motor traders to suggest someone who will paint it for reasonable money.

Where abouts are you?
Do you do just painting or the fixing of cracks and holes?

I have done many GRP repairs as many of the bikes on my website are GRP race fairings..
