JackDanson Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Had my Z three days and a large hare decided to bang its head very hard on my front valance, inadvertently ending the hares life. When I checked for damage, all I could see is hair (no pun intended) scuffed across the valance, but now I notice a fairly large chip of paint has fallen away. I was pleased it was dead to start with and wished I'd eaten it's heart, but I feel for it's family now. I suppose I'm lucky in a way that it didn't do a lot more damage but I still need to do a thorough check. I don't feel lucky though. I'm not sure how should I go about getting it repaired or even if it's really worth repairing it until I sell it. Z looks like it has a scar in an unfashionable place... has less pride somehow. It's given me a bum rush before I've even had chance to enjoy it properly. I'd be happy to hear if anyone has any advice they can offer. Quote
JackDanson Posted June 4, 2007 Author Posted June 4, 2007 heh, that kind of helps too but not exactly what I was looking for. Quote
rmmackfc Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Not sure exactly where you mean, get some pics up Quote
Zedrush Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Not sure exactly where you mean, get some pics up What of the rabbit? Quote
Stew Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 I remember hitting a rabbit at about 65 in my nova. I decapitated it with my exposed tow eye! Oh what fun it was cleaning that up! Quote

rmmackfc Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Not sure exactly where you mean, get some pics up What of the rabbit? I was thinking if the chip is low enough a front lip may cover it....turning a bad situation into a mod Quote
JackDanson Posted June 5, 2007 Author Posted June 5, 2007 More pics... Doesn't look like its cracked the plastic but by the looks of those bubbles I'm going to lose some more paint. Quote
JackDanson Posted June 5, 2007 Author Posted June 5, 2007 Sorry, they are flies. It was pretty much chip free. I'll clean it up and take a couple more if those pics do not depict the subject adequately. Edit: heh I've only just now really looked at the pictures, it really does look absolutely ragged doesn't it. That is honestly only two days worth of flies. Quote
Sarnie Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Sorry, they are flies. It was pretty much chip free. I'll clean it up and take a couple more if those pics do not depict the subject adequately. No need mate. I was just thinking that if they were stone chips then a full respray of the bumper could be combined with rectifying the Hare issue. If its chip free then a chipsaway guy should be able to sort it. Quote
JackDanson Posted June 5, 2007 Author Posted June 5, 2007 Thats great. Thank you. Chipsaway... I wouldn't have believed such a thing existed. I've never had a decent car before and perhaps I've led a sheltered life, but it seems a whole new world has opened up for me . Quote
rmmackfc Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 not major stuff, maybe chipsaway? Bet me to it.... should be fixible. Buy a lip to make sure Quote
