So who bought it? I think I missed something. Tim was 'guilty' then it appears on Bob's car? Did Tim sell it to Bob via a 'tailblazer broker' or what?

Commendable use of Araldite!

Bob's got one too!

That missing bit is annoying, but I'd be tempted to remove the other side too to even it up. Tidied up it could pass muster quite easily. The tailblazer I have just repaired now looks like this.

Have you just fixed that with a strip of Sellotape?

Any idea who was bidding against you Tim?

Actually, no

- I actually reconstructed the entire top edge, here both the 'thin bits' were broken off. There was a big crack (held with tape) that I joined and (out of shot) a side part cracked off.

Not really no mate, but for £7 if its scrap then im not too worried.

Liz's new number plate does hide a multitude of sins...

Shame it's not like Bob's (with the two-tone effect following on from the phase 2 lights... but it's not really that important I guess)

That looks ace, i think i prefer the single coloured version than the two tone one's.

I have to say - so do I!

I'm liking this level of tailblazer devotion! Good work Phil - do you offer a repair service - I'll send you a Jiffy full of bits ( The Pleides of tailblazers!) I've never seen one of the two tone ones Bob - wear it with pride mate!

Obviously it makes any BX fitted with such a thing go a lot faster too!
