Cold Cups... And A Stupid Woman!

[Nords]

I'd suggest that people consider a custom ventureshield fit (from Nick Phelps, I'll dig his details out) to protect the front.

This is after I hit the badger at 70 on a dual carridgeway. The bumper was destroyed if you looked at the back (and was replaced with brand new, then re-ventureshielded).

A closer version, the radiators, aircon and others bits were all replaced!

God, what speed did you hit the badger at??

My car is has ventureshield fitted. It is great for everywhere except the flippers at the front.

Stone impacts where the film is damaged by sharp stones, tend to get moisture behind them and bubble which is fooking annoying.

Best

Legal limit, it looks mininal but the front air dam was trashed at the back, only the ventureshield held it together...

my bodyshop can`t repair it so bit the bullet and ordered a new one £2800 at least it comes painted, should be fuckin gold plated at that price.

Not good!

She's not claiming on your insurance then? Even if she is/isn't can't you get it fixed on insurance, premium probably won't go up that much?

Ouch, but that's a good price, I checked my invoice and it was £2500 + VAT, so more like £3000.

nasty, but you need to look on the positive side you can get some dosh back selling the damaged bumper plus the front end of you car will look spanky with new flippers :supz:

[Fasteddie]

It would come Gold Plated but then that would wipe out all the gains by going CF!!

no she never took details so i got off rather quickly, before she rang her husband and no doubt he would have told her to go for whip-cash and everything even though when she got out she apologised for being in the wrong lane. But as everyone knows you run in the back of someone its your fault!

Gutted for you Mick :bigcry:, it was only a short while back were I was saying that your SB CSL was the best one i'd ever seen it really looked superb in the photo's you posted.
Oh well at least you will get a new front bumper with new splitters :thumbs:

[NZ_M3]

Honestly I think your panel shop just can't be bothered repairing it - that bumper's more than repairable (provided the impact bar isn't damaged)

Most shops prefer to just buy new add margin, fit labour and be done with a perfect job, rather than muck around with resin and carbon fibre sheets.

+1 for ventureshield - great product!!

I've not had any issues with it applied to the splitters either - holds up great even with track debris
