I don't wanna just glass it , had a couple of pro's look at it and there solution is fiberglass mat and resin , which i don't really want . Does anyone know of someone experienced in the repair of composite materials . :D

The only option is to grind up the back of the kit and glass it in order to put some strength back into it. Then spot fill any defects on the gel coat, then sand up. You can spray white gel coat back over it but I probably wouldn't bother as someone will have it painted to suit there car.

do not forget to mix filler with hardener :)
