as my previous thread says, someone tried to pry my CF wing off. Can carbon fiber be repaired?

It depends on the type of damage. Is it just the tip that's chipped off of your wing or is the whole thing cracked/broken? If it's just the tip you could have a new piece of resin molded to the end if you can find someone that knows what they are doing.
I think generally speaking the answer is no if you don't want to paint over the part.

Assuming the resin is cracked and the weave torn a little, you can fill in the defect with clear resin, but it won't look the same. How much is the OEM part? I'm guessing expensive enough to be a pain and not worth the possible insurance claim.

It can be repaired but it isnt going to look the same as before. Doesnt matter how good the repair job is, it will be impossible to match the carbon fiber to look like it does from the factory.

I cracked a Vorsteiner front splitter and had it repaired but had to paint it body color to cover the repairs.

here is a better pic....only the corner is damaged, but they did lift it up a bit near the corner, so there is now a bit more gap between the trunk and the wing. They also dented and scratched the trunk a bit....
