ouch that hurt!!!

[craigjudd]

Reversed the little gem out of a parking bay and forgot there was a concrete pillar on the right...wing dented, headlight cluster broken off, bumper pulled out of place and damaged, fog light broken off, looking at a few hundred quid in a garage obviously....or a little time and 30 quid for a new headlight bulb some epoxy resin and a can of spray.Had the filler already, just needs a clean and polish and almost as good as new.The bumper is a little out of alignment but I can live with that.




hoping to get the rear screen replaced next week!...its a never ending story but I just love it.

Well done, looks like a tidy repair.

 

[Grumps]

Oooh you did a fair job of that! A tidy repair though for a few quid.

 

[DaveB with a Z3]

Nice work , I'd still be crying

 

[craigjudd]

tears dried up with a couple of beers,I repair rowing boats a lot so know how to do the basic filling, glass fibreing and carbon fibre repairs,,,not a clue with the engine side though.

Looks like a great job

 

[DrWong]

Great job mate. Similar to others, I’d still be beside myself crying if I’d done that!

 

[MalcQV]

Looks superb.

 

[BMBabe]

Awesome job on the repair
Hey you could be the Zedshed Smart Repair sector

Nice looking repair.
Just one thing the slight misalignment of the bumper ......has the bracket under the wheel arch cover shifted??
When I put mine back together ( front and rear damage) I found that two of the bumper brackets had moved due to the nylon holding nuts being damaged. They just needed to be realigned after sliding the bumper back

I also realigned one recently for someone who lives locally.

This was at the rear and had the bracket pushed off the studs ( broke both nylon nuts)
The front has a different bracket but is a similar set up
If you need a couple of new nylon nuts, let me know as I have some.

 

[craigjudd]

I didn't think of that..am going to look right now thanks Mazza

 

[buze]

Thanks @Mazza I was going to mention this too, as I did some panel alignement just today on the same part of the car. There is quite a bit of "play" on the bracket there, and it can be 'convinced' quite a bit. It's possible your accident has shifted the inner wheel arch (as it did on mine) but there was just JUST the amount of motion to re-secure it in an acceptable spot.

Glad you got your Z repaired , I’d be gutted
