LeeT Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 let the mrs drive back from newbury on friday and said to her ' slow as possible over speed hump' . next thing a big crunch. ' sorry thats as slow as i could go' have a quick look. all looks OK. had another look this morning and both front wings have buckled. they are literally sticking out 10mm on the panel gap between door and front wings. Looks absolutely awful. im stuck with this now untill after the french trip:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeT Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 no worries on the hi jack. with the overfenders the skirts are so much lower so obviously one sharp knock upwards fucks things right up. i'll worry about it after france now . luckily i hadnt had the overfenders blended in properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-san Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Sorry to hear this Lee, I know the kind of killer hump in question. Hopefully it won't take too much time and money to rectify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black cat Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 what actually hit the floor to buckel both wings???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 what actually hit the floor to buckel both wings????s nothing hit the floor. the lower edges of the sideshirts/overfenders hit the speed hump. as the overfenders are bolted to the wings it pushed them upwards. to be honest it doesnt look that bad, sure people are going to notice but there are no crease's or dents etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 Pretty bad that, maybe the dent divil can work magic? i doubt it to be honest. although a decent bodyshop may be able to help as there's no creases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 jesus, how can you buckle both wings and not damage the front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 jesus, how can you buckle both wings and not damage the front? first time shes tackled the hks twin plate. i say take it easy, the front goes over fine then she lets the wheels roll over the top too fast and 'crack' an almighty sound. apparently that was as slow as she could manage:( i went over it first with no problems at all. facking women:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
