Damaged mini

Post by neasha »

After the strong winds last night I came out this morning and found my mini damaged by god knows what?


The car cover was blown off and the left side mirror came off. Aswell as the number plate got bent

Scapes and dints on the bonnet.

I take it you did not tighten the bolts on the arm so,TMG.

Bad luck on the Mini Dylan but at least the damage is not too serious.

The cover blowing off did the number plate and probably the mirror, the scrapes and dents must have been from flying debri, I lost my Jeep spare wheel cover coming down the M50 today at lunchtime, I hope it didn't cause an accident behind me.

its frustrating waking up in the morning, seeing your precious car damaged and you will ask why in the world your car has been choosen for the uncontrollable circumstances of natural disaster. Damn you wind !! 8) I feel bad for the mini parts that was been damaged but there is still a chance to fix it right. The scratches will be repainted and well for the mirror good luck.

I love to have this in my yard.
