    Tank repair or just get a new one?

    So my black '96 Hornet 250 has a bit of a ding in the right hand side of the fuel tank where it was dropped by a previous owner. Also the stickers are peeling a bit and just generally look fairly average. It's nothing serious but I thought I'd see what it would cost to either fix it and respray it or just to replace it.

    Is either option worth it? any recomendations for where to go / who to talk to about either option?

    The rear plastics are a bit scratched up too so could look at getting a full set so it could be any colour but would prefer to stick to the black.

    I have the same problem with the tank on my cbr. From the research i've done, it costs just as much to repair the dent as it does to replace the tank. I'm currently looking for a replacement tank at wreckers- they seem to have better deals than Trademe. Only found mc19 tanks so far..
