hoff Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Comming home from work there is a nesty s bend. It was wet and the back end stepped out a mile and scraped the front on the verge on the other side. Luckily nothering was coming the other way and the car behined was a couple of lenghs aso back. It smashed my new Bomex up a treat. And left some dirt on the road, but not much. I assume as there was no-one else involved and no property damaged I dont need to report it? I've still got my stock bumper but if anyone knows anyone with a black Bomex/Tiop Secret/Do-luck for sale I'll be happy to here from you. Main thing is Im ok and no-one else was involved.

hoff Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 The bottom piece accross the middle is missing so i think there is no chance of recovery. Just hope the police dont pull me over tomorrow. Putting the stock one back on after work i hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoff Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 As far as I can tell. I gad to take a hammer to it when I got home cause it would be flapping against the radiator.

Havard Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Could have been a lot worse from the sounds of it!! Definitely a brown trouser moment then? Glad you are ok! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 Cheers guys. I'll have the stock 1 on tonight with a bit of luck and then we'll have a look to see if the Bomex can be repaired. I dont hold much hope but my mate has done it before so we'll see. I do count my luck stars that the damage was not as bad as it could have been and that I wasnt hurt and no-one else got caught up in it. But still cant help being gutted, having spent 500 notes on it just a few weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-NEMIE Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Mate, just read this, dont know how i missed it glad your ok shame but .... jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 One of those things Jamie mate. I got lucky really, that no one else got involved and that the damage wasn't worse. The stock bumper is on again now, which still looks great. Im after another bomex i think but am also thinking of an active spoiler too.
