I must have a real way with stones because in just two years I've managed to litter the entire front bumper in loads of miniscule stone chips.

And today this happened!

So this post is for the breakers. I'm after a drivers side fog light. Managed to source a pair brand new for £20 from China a year ago.

However I'm after an oem replacement this time so please PM me with prices if you have a pair. @Synclare you are closest to me so let me know if you have a set.

Because you pay all your taxes and your roads are still crap.
You would love it over here, roads are fantastic and well looked after.....;)

There's one good thing at least the victim is an easy change and not your windscreen

Myself and @Antm72 had odd ones so assume we have both had replacements at some point. We swapped them to make a pair each. :D

The roads in the Nederlands are superb, not like neighbouring Belgium. By far the worst roads I've ever seen. :eek:

Yeah, that as well. a couple of years ago, two young lads in a BMW took out five cars and a lamppost just outside my front door.
Pished up coming back from the beach.

Ouch, that's a bit annoying. Caught a stone myself the other year - lot more damage than that and costs to make your eyes water :cool:

Surely that's caused by driving too close to the car in front. :oops:..You're not going to cause that sort of damage all by yourself!

The MC doesn't have front fogs, which I love. It is years since I used front fog lights in any car, wonder if there is a fog light delete option for Z3s?

I had a problem with stones the other day. Well more like small boulders. Hidden in long grass. I reversed my 3 GT down a line of them - the rear visibility is terrible in it and it's a whacking big car. I took out both alloys and the sill cover on that side. Pretty distressing on a 4 month old £45k car, albeit on lease. About £400 of damage there I reckon and not worth putting through the insurance :mad:

Only my 3rd fault accident in 30 years and all low speed manoeuvres. Shameful.

Bit off topic...I was there in January and one of those road salting trucks came by and salt went all over the car I was in. I would of gone off my nut if I was in my Zed and that happened!
