Jamesy Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I'll keep this short as im so fu(king p!ssed off about it. Left Lee's earlier and thought i'd shut the bonnet properly - obviously not as once i got to 50mph the bonnet flew open and bent in half smashing the windscreen on the process..... lucky didnt damage anything else like the wings or roof. Perfect timing just when the sun is about to make an apperance this week. Bonnet - fu*ked Windscreen - fu*ked My enthusiasm - ......... hmmmmm ****needed**** Bonnet Windscreen Blow job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian W Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Nightmare, mate. Windscreen looks okay in the pic, where's the damage? Spotted another car like this just last week and it's something that I always worry about whenever closing the bonnet (especially when I had the carbon bonnet and could see it flexing at high speed ) New bonnet and you'll be right, can you claim for your windscreen on your insurance?

Bailey. Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Has probably damaged where the corners of the bonnet dug into the bottom of the screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 ouch must have been a poo in pants moment at the time., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Yeah i did sh!t myself the noise was mental just glad it didnt damage the roof. The windscreen is cracked from the bottom near the steering wheel right across to the middle - brand new screen too. Windscreens arent covered on my insurance either unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I got very lucky last week. Driving down the motorway and I noticed the bonnet was having a little wobble. Immediately pulled in and closed it properly. I've greased my catches as they weren't latching on properly everytime. Unlucky bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Bloody hell mate, nasty!!! That could of been a lot worse? Just when you say about the bonnet catch i picked one up today from a scrappy as mine is broken, need to send it to Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky49 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Numpty. Not good dude. I can help you collect if needed in the work horse if it's not to far away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Thats some nasty luck mate, i would have shat myself! I suppose at least it never dented the pillars or roof, that may have ended up a lot more expensive to fix. I have a bonnet coming off my supra next week as my carbon one is going on.. your welcome to have it if it will help, if you can arrange collection from my bodyshop its yours If Jamsey finds another then i'd be keen to take it off your hands mate, mine still has a massive dent from the vandal that smashed my windscreen, if Jamsey takes it then it's all good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
