srobrien Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Pulling out at a junction...didn't notice a car coming!!!!!!! New bumper required.....Evan Halshaws were wanting £650 fitted....get stuffed! Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Not good mate, there’s a few members with bumpers kicking about, might be worth putting an ad in the Wanted section… Is the bumper cracked or is it simply surface grazing/damage… PS: You have a parcel coming your way, PM to be sent shortly...

IanS16 Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Thats the least damage I've seen on a crashed Zed so you were lucky. The Zanussi washing machine did more damage Can you not get it resprayed? £650 doesnt sound too bad to me for a new bumper, painted and fitted though. Quote
Stew Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Looks like it's still aligned.... Not good Ross. Open yir een ya numpty hoor! Quote
S1 HNK Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 gutted mate, but it doesn't look that bad! Does it need a new bumper? Quote
srobrien Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 Hey yeah it will need to be new as there a a hole in it...maybe CS can sort me out with a good deal on a nismo style one to go along with my pipercross filter R Quote
nixy Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Is that yellow thing parked close enough! Quote
Pimm Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Is that yellow thing parked close enough! Lucky that pavement is not any higher to Quote
srobrien Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 Yeah, i know its parked on a slope and the OEM bumper JUST fits over the kerb. Will have to start parking backwards if i get the nismo. R Quote
stanski Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Oh no - sorry to hear about that mate - I was going to suggest MER polish with a rag its worked for me in the past untill you said you had a hole in the pumper!! Hope you get it sorted soon and at least its still lined up properly so thats something? Quote
R800NER Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Depending on when you need a front bumper, I am fitting a Nismo V1 kit to my car in the next month or two...so will have a spare Kuro if you can wait Quote
GIXXERUK Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 the shutlines look like they have closed up slightly on the passenger side (unless its the angle of the pics) so you may need brackets with a new bumper Quote
srobrien Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 the shutlines look like they have closed up slightly on the passenger side (unless its the angle of the pics) so you may need brackets with a new bumper Yeah i had to pop the bumper back a bit, im really surprised how little damage was caused. I totally mauled the other car. Its going to need a complete new left hand side R Quote
M13KYF Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Thats the least damage I've seen on a crashed Zed so you were lucky. The Zanussi washing machine did more damage Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Bad luck dude. It could have been an awful lot worse though. Quote
Beavis Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Thats the least damage I've seen on a crashed Zed so you were lucky. The Zanussi washing machine did more damage It was an Hotpoint actually Quote
BulletMagnet Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Main thing is nobody got hurt and hopefully you'll become a more observant driver as a result. You could get that azure bumper off sunset350z, then you'd also have a carbon lip insert already fitted, all you'll need ia a respray. That should work out cheaper, cos if you only go for the respray and purchase of bumper brakets, and re-attach the bumper yourself, that should work out alot cheaper than haveing a workshop do all the work and charging you full price.

Zee Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Blimey, are you sure its not wedged onto the pavement in that piccy?! It looks Tight!! Quote

Thanks although i can't really say i was that unobservant, there was cars parked on double yellow lines at the corner of the road blocking my view...it was more bad timing. Im going to have to claim off my insurance anyway for the other car so it doesn't make any difference if i claim for a new bumper. Quote
srobrien Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 Blimey, are you sure its not wedged onto the pavement in that piccy?! It looks Tight!! It is a VERY tight car park, doesn't help that people seem to think they need two spaces for a clio. The bumper is about 1/2 cm above the kerb....very close indeed. Last week when it was covered in ice i couldn't park up the the kerb otherwise it would have scraped. R Quote
H5 Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 At least no-one was hurt and it's just the front bumper. All you need is a good paint match and it'll be better than it was before. Quote

Cara Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Oh no, nightmare Never mind, on the plus side as you say, it's an excuse to go newer and better Quote
InsanezeD Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Get it to a good bodyshop, that'll be sorted for under a hundred quid. Quote
BulletMagnet Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 While the bumper is off, install an allweather speaker on the inside and connect it to your new sound system, so it's like a PA via the interior mic, lol. Roll up saying "aw-wight gawgous..." Make sure your not in a questionable area of town tho....lol Quote
