Sorry to see that mate, I had a scary moment earlier on today, a Lidl shopping bag with some crap in it flew right up from under the car infront of me and hit the bumper, doesnt look like it was damaged but it had me worried the whole way home.

Hard luck mate - hope you get it sorted.

BTW, Simpson charge £55 + VAT per hour labour - somewhat cheaper than BMW!

i know your pain mate, mine had been back from the body shop after being painted only about a week when some T@*t reversed into it

i was in a sandwich shop heard the sound of carbon fibre splitting - very similar to the damaged you have by the look of it.

Bad luck mate,hope you get sorted ok.

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).

Nords · 28-03-2010, 03:36 PM

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...
