srobrien Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Went to pick up a parcel from the postal office this morning and CRACK!! battered my lip off the damn speed hump! Im fed up with it now its the second time its been repaired and its getting too expensive. I need some suggestions on what to replace it with. I really liked the greddy as it was different and suits the agressive v2 spoiler and bonnet but it was perhaps a bit too low. Cheers R Quote
stanski Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Ouch! maybe think about strengthening it underneath with a steel brace of some sort - and bonding it to the underside - use a string adhesive to repair that crack? Quote
Husky Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 i thought you were talking about employment strikes Quote
srobrien Posted October 30, 2009 Author Posted October 30, 2009 Its had too much damage now so needs to go, im thinking about something CF maybe? R Quote
Digsy Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Its had too much damage now so needs to go, im thinking about something CF maybe? R That'll be cheaper to repair then! Quote
srobrien Posted October 30, 2009 Author Posted October 30, 2009 Its had too much damage now so needs to go, im thinking about something CF maybe? R That'll be cheaper to repair then! No but will be more duarable , i bought the lip damage repaired so its never been strong. R Quote
Gaz Walker Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Ouch How about the Veilside: http://z-store.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseacti ... ct_ID=9418 Quote
cookiemonster Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Ive got the veilside and it looks It is still pretty low though. Quote
srobrien Posted October 30, 2009 Author Posted October 30, 2009 Ive got the veilside and it looks It is still pretty low though. U got any close up pics mate? i like the idea of the colour coded edges. R Quote
Spaceman Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I used to do that all the time with my VR6 chin spoiler, pain in the arse. feel for ya mate. I suggest somebody come up with an electronic auto raising suspension so as soon as sensors pick a speed bump it raises the car by an inch or two Quote
Woody Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Oooh nooo. Thats not good at all. Really like this lip aswell Quote
Chesterfield Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Is your car lowered? I've had a problem with mine scraping, and its taken a couple of knocks on Wales/Scotland drives, but its never cracked, only ever scuffed under the corners near the wheel arches (lowest point). Has it cracked in the same place as a previous break? Perhaps this is the reason for it going again and the whole thing is weakened now? As above, perhaps a thin steel brace mounted on the inside of the lip may help, but having that made and fitted may outweigh a few simple repairs each time? Quote
rich5259 Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 you could send the bits to CarbonCoops and get him to make you one in carbon He'd have to sell it as Greedy Style but even BM might like it Quote
choptop Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 May be worth a go, but if your car is standard height, how about asking the owner of the speed hump to pay for the damage? Quote
srobrien Posted October 30, 2009 Author Posted October 30, 2009 Yeah my car is lowered and as it was an aftermarket lip theres no chance they will pay for it. I took it off and its totally snapped in half so its pretty much beyond repair in my eyes. May get the VS lip from envy but im still undecided. R Quote
Shaun1982 Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I like the VS lip too Ross,infact EP racing do a VS style lip,think its £175 for a grp plus p&p, sure they do it in cf too though mate Quote
srobrien Posted October 30, 2009 Author Posted October 30, 2009 I think they do it in CF, I have PM'd them about it as well. R Quote
cookiemonster Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Ive got the veilside and it looks It is still pretty low though. U got any close up pics mate? i like the idea of the colour coded edges. R I will take some pics tomorrow for you and post them up , the lip is wrapped in vinyl at the edges and black in the middle. Quote
srobrien Posted October 30, 2009 Author Posted October 30, 2009 That would be good it looks sweet! R Quote
