Did you get out and look straight away or get back on the track?

No, I just got back on the track and carried on. Then when I went past again I noticed a big lump of bumper on the grass and realised it must be mine

After the session finished I went and asked the marshalls to get it for me

Yeah needs a new bumper. It actually came off in one big chunk so I'm going to do a pro ziptie-and-ducktape bodge for now.

But yeah, it could have been a lot worse. A fair few cars were badly damaged today, the greasy conditions were catching people out.

Well m8 get it all stuck back together and just right across the front Track scarr to go nicely with ya drift scarr.

Damm mate

I think you got off lightley tho fella, imagine what could have happend. Seeing a post on here about a rolled Rex would have been a lot worse :eek:

Fair play to you tho, a lot of people are far too scared to track there cars, one being me

At least you'll be able to get a new one sorted and make it look right as rain.

I thought that was a ridiculously rare and expensive bumper he had on there though?

Yes, 'tis an RE-Amemiya bumper, ~£1000 :eek:

divine` · 20 May 2006 at 17:14

So are you going to see if it can be fixed or change to a different bumper?

or even shell out £1000 for a new RE-Amemiya?

Joe T · 20 May 2006 at 17:23

"Track scar" tbh

Clarkey · 20 May 2006 at 17:27

thats bad luck, but hey, you can get a mazdaspeed bumper now

eidolon · 20 May 2006 at 17:32

Unlucky mate but I think you got away without too much damage, it could've been a hell of a lot worse.

Look on the bright side, it's a good excuse to get a different front bumper though

VTR · 20 May 2006 at 18:08

Unlucky mate, was down there earlier and seen it parked up!

Great day all in all though, got a few pics which I'll upload when I get a chance.

Tape the bugger back on.

PS: Needs a hoodride stencil on the nearside corner of the front bumper now:

DO IT!

You have to keep the dotted line and scissors though as part of the picture :cool:

Looks grand taped back on.

When we got there the first car i saw on track was yours

I said to my mate i'd show him the drift scar, found your car and discovered it had gone missing

Was a good day, shame it wasn't warmer. Had to queue for an hour for a burger. Plus the 450 mile round trip was a real nightmare!

benneh · 20 May 2006 at 20:22

Tbh if you have the centre section (as in the pic above) a decent fibreglass worker will be able to fix it, and it wont cost a damn site more than it was going to to get the right side done anyway. These are positive things!.

Bad luck though dude

, but sod it, all in the name of fun, and it coulda been a whole lot worse.

Good excuse to go orange imo.

WEAR YOUR SCARS WITH PRIDE!
