Humpy Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Went out for a Christmas work do last night in Windsor and decided I would treat the zed to a blast. About a mile away from the hotel I had to contend with about 8 speed bumps. Lucky enough this is more on the underside of the front bumper so cannot be seen. Then driving back on the M3 this morning I had another Keyser moment ( he will know what I mean ) but sadly not so lucky. Something quite large flicked up underneath from a car in the middle Lane and decided to hit my front bumper. The wrap helped protect the paint to a degree but non the less still a bugger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Absolute sh**ter Humpy and I feel your pain, ...but no point in having a nice car imo if you don't drive it as often as possible. Stuff like this will always happen unfortunately (as you know I'm sure). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exec Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Ouch! When I was shopping for a zed I came across a lot with front lips cracked and smashed to pieces. You need one of those rock guards you see on 4x4 off roaders! I'm happy with the height of the zed stock I couldn't imagine lowering it, speed humps would kill it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt89 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Had my zed less than a week now, ended up taking it shopping, parked as far away from everyone as possible. On the roof of an 8 storey car park! Didn't think anything of it until the way down where I scraped the front bumper down the roof ramp as it was steeper than the rest....doh! Girlfriend said she wished she took a photo of my face of anger and surprise. But guess I didn't buy it to sit and look pretty on the drive! Hope you're able to repair it as much as possible with as little cost! Edited December 5, 2015 by matt89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowhereboy Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Bad time of year on the roads! The wind is constantly blowing things onto the road around my way. My front bumper is ruined because of it. Gonna wait until the weather gets better to get the respray now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veilside z Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Its disgusting the state of the roads, plus all these humps. The council are always complaining they do not have the resources to fill in the pot holes, yet they always manage to find enough to build these damn things.

andy james Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Ouch! Sorry to see this Steve. That's the reason I've decided when my car is finnished it's never coming out of the garage! Lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpy Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Just be glad you didn't have me as a passenger That sucks matey but we all will do this to ourselves I was hoping I was going to somehow miraculously avoid it like that large bit of concrete you threw from your car that time To be honest not as much damage as I thought it had done, so cannot grumble. The speed bumps is another kettle of fish altogether. Not even lowered so shows how long the do-luck nose is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
