HassanZ Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 At work I park my front bumper close to the work brick wall, normally I get it just right (about a few inches away from the wall). This morning I was in my own world and I edged close to the wall. I completely misjudged the distance and edged even closer (this time I used slightly excessive gas by mistake) and CRUNCH!!! I just went into a 30 foot high brick wall!! The car bounced back and didn't sound good at all...I just sat there and couldn't believe what I had just done! I haven't checked if any damage has been caused (too scared to check!). I have gathered the number plate and the black surround/holder is what hit the wall and not the actual bumper. I hope I haven't damaged her.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 So what you're saying is that you drove into a 30ft high brick wall that was right in front of you? And you still haven't checked for any damage, but instead ran in and posted on the interweb about it? Sorry man, I don't mean to be cruel, but you are without doubt one of my favourite posters ever on here! I just love how your brain works at times.

HassanZ Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Thanks for making me laugh!!! I had a brief look when it happened, I shall thoroughly check when I get home - Just too scared to check right now!!! Would the number plate and surround be enough to protect the bumper from misaligning/deforming? Just can't believe it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Would the number plate and surround be enough to protect the bumper from misaligning/deforming? Honestly? Probably not if you've given it a solid thump. A minor graze yes, but not with any weight behind it. My brother had a very light tap in his and it slaughtered the front end, he had to get a new bumper in the end. All the important parts stay fine, but everything else is designed to crush very easily to absorb the impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Bumped a pillar of our own garage in our zed, the plate and the black surround took the bump and there was no damage done other than a slight scuff on the white plastic of the number plate. As long as you dont give it a propper smack, the plate holder and bumper are fairly flexible. Ill bet there is no damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to just touch a wall before on the old 350z and it did the same, so Hassan may be lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
