St Pattys Day lucky? Not for me. FML

icandie · 03-17-2010, 07:39 PM

I dont want to discuss what happened.. Just need to vent.

Will I need a new bumper? Can my aero lip be removed and reinstalled?

Mtech.. hmmm

or Mtech with carbon fibre splitters...

Steven L · 03-17-2010, 07:43 PM

I am sorry to hear that!! But it depends on how serious damage the bumper is, and then decide whether should change a new bumper!!! If change it,, I suggest you to get the Msport bumper!!

MIC328i · 03-17-2010, 08:28 PM

MTECH all the way!

SGxi · 03-17-2010, 08:32 PM

That sucks!!!!!!! Sorry to see this

If the bumper has a rip or it's torn/cracked, good chance you will need a new bumper.

If the lip is glued onto the bumper, you probably can't swap it to the new bumper.

Kriston · 03-17-2010, 08:47 PM

You will need a new bumper, they wont repair it. Good chance for you to upgrade to M-Tech.

So sorry to see this happen.

who's ur daddy? · 03-17-2010, 08:49 PM

That'll buff right out.

Asclepius · 03-17-2010, 08:56 PM

that sucks! Sorry to hear today was unlucky for ya

Good new is its just cosmetic and like others have mentioned, you can upgrade to a new front end

Balzz · 03-17-2010, 09:07 PM

The lip looks like it survived...sell it and put it towards Mtech!

SGxi · 03-17-2010, 09:09 PM

Looks like your car do have headlight washers.

Soni · 03-17-2010, 09:10 PM

Sorry to see that. Go with the mtech with splitter, it looks hot!

catch · 03-17-2010, 09:23 PM

sucks!
Id say time for the m-tech as well! On the white car pictured id say the splitters look amazing. on black, i can take them or leave it.

And yes, you can take the lip off and sell it to offset the cost of the new bumper!

sathees siva · 03-17-2010, 09:56 PM

Mtech with carbon fibre splitters......you will forget about this incident !!!

Important thing you're okay.

tolkino · 03-17-2010, 11:40 PM

that sucks... however it does look repairable (from the pictures at least). Any bodyshop should be able to fix it... unless you're looking for an excuse to get the MTech bumper lol.

...also, you need some super dark gangster tints!

^^^ lol. if only it were that easy. (funny enough, I actually have band-aids like that, except mine are pink! haah)

jasonintoronto · 03-18-2010, 08:02 AM

ouch, that sucks. likely they won't be able to repair the bumper. do you have a shop to look at it? my dealer (bmw toronto) sent my car to be repaired at don valley vw to fix a dent found during delivery - they did a good job.

SGxi · 03-18-2010, 10:09 AM

My friend had something similar happened on her rear bumper.

I had some hello kitty bandages on her bumper and everyone got a real good kick out of it.

She actually had the bandages on her bumper until she took it in to replace it.
