Default Carbon Fibre repairs????

Does anyone know of a company that can do carbon fibre repairs on external body parts as ive just bought a new car and the front splitter has been slightly damaged and wondered if it was repairable or if i need to buy a new one?

If it is repairable will it be noticeable i.e the weave look different etc.

Any help would be most appreciated guys and gals

i'm gonna take a guess and say escos.
just google carbon fibre repairs, find a few names and google them, see if it comes up with any forums giving good or bad reports.

Is it just the surface gel coat/lacquer that needs repairing or is the damage all the way through to the carbon fibre itself as that will determine how easy or costly it will be to repair

May be worth contacting Barry @ Carbontech as he has done a lot of custom work for a lad i know & quality of work is excellent - http://carbontecshop.com
