Hey guys,

Had a funny accident today on the m5, I was doing about 120 in the overtaking lane to get around a truck and i hear a very loud hard object flying under my car bouncing off the road and smacking the underside of my car, I look in my rear view mirror only to see my lip flying down the road behind me lol

Well basically I wanted to know if this has happened to anyone else haha?

Cheers, Fil

never happend, but i remember awhile ago, driving my bros 200sx, ran over something, flinged up smacking the rear bumper, cracking it.... woulda cost well over $600 to repair :eek: but ended up sourcing a 2nd hand rear bumper

You might want to mount sh!t properly if it wasn't.

It was mounted fine, could tug and kick the thing all you like and it wouldnt budge no matter what, im thinking it might have been caught on something on the road maybe lol, oh well time for a change anyway

thats not needed man.

even replica parts dont come off like this. if it really was securely mounted it wouldnthave come off like that

Got to where I was going and saw my lip missing and was like,AH,that's what it was :p

That's got nothing to do with a front lip flying off.

That's due to improper installation and poor mounting.
