Less than immaculate SEAC ......

[pjac67]

I'm not the sort to wrap a car in cotton wool but ..... waited until the roads were dry this afternoon (as car was in pristine condition) and within 30 seconds of leaving home I met a van coming the opposite direction at close quarters at a point in the road where there was mud and gravel following the heavy rain....



many stonechips and several small chunks out of the spoiler..

after stopping to check the damage a few minutes later I clipped the front corner/spoiler on a rock/boulder whilst reversing/turning mext to someones 'protected' driveway chipping off a chunk of kevlar...



Looking on the bright side at least it was on the front again....

Good on you for using it - that's what it was designed for!

You say you've chipped off a chunk on Kevlar; I very much doubt it, it's very tough stuff. It is, however, quite flexible so I suspect you've broken off a chunk of filler/paint on the surface - not so big a deal, but a bit of a pain!

Not a great day then Paul.....

Yes, if it's the white bit on the second 'photo that's just filler that's lost.

I've heard of people winning a small claims case against those boulders in front of driveways, unless there is planning permission for them I believe they are illegal.

Sorry to hear that Paul. There was some cracking on that corner, so may have been repaired there previously. Should be an easy repair and blend.

Agree should be easy repair - might collect some more chips first though - off to London in it all day tomorrow....

Here's the protected drive - I was parked alongside and reversed with right hand down... don't think I'll pursue anything.

Looks more like a pavement.

Yep me too, people who drop those lumps of rock outside their house are vindictive cheapskate's,they get a kick coz they caused some damage in the view the car shouldn't be on the verge, supposed to get council permission and erect posts to a certain height with reflectors and mounted at a pre determined distance from edge of road/kerb. That obviously too much work and expense for them.!

That looks like a fugging health hazard, Someone should trip on them and sue the balls off em..VVankers!!..

I wouldn't leave a load of rocks there if it were my car - or should I call it "ammo"...
