Guest Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 So yesterday morning a good friend of mine phoned me asking to look at his car just thinking he'd kurbed it and ruined his alloy but this is what I found. Once I get a picture of his alloy I'll put it up but it's in a right state. Got to feel sorry for him though being a bmw it's going to cost him a fortune.

Guest Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Haha the amount of damage underneath it looks like it but it was a curb that done it. Not very fast either, he's bent something to do with the suspension aswell as part of his chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexp999 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Has that tyre managed to stay inflated or is it on run flats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 It's a 57 plate 3 series m sport that's done 35000 miles. And yes they are on runflats but were still fully inflated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I'm amazed it stayed inflated with that much of a chunk missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmurray01 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I know a few people who curb their tyres fairly regularly, but to do that kind of damage either takes a terribly built car or an especially bad driver... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 That's not light kerb damage... I've hit my fair share of kerbs in various cars and never done anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Im sure a mobile alloy wheel repair van man could fix the wheel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcor Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Haha the amount of damage underneath it looks like it but it was a curb that done it. Not very fast either, he's bent something to do with the suspension aswell as part of his chassis Is his name Pinnochio by any chance??? lol You have got to be driving like a prize prat to cause that much damage kerbing a car in my opinion. Either that or his BMW is made from butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodkat Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I've seen worse... I used to work at a body shop which had a contract with a TVR/Scooby dealer. They had a brand new Impreza import in, 3 different colours, black with a purple and silver flake. This car was a work of art. STi with full WRX kit. Anyway, it is in the workshop as someone had done a blag on the dealers, shunted the side with a truck and shoved it into another car. 2 doors on both sides. Über quick turnaround as it needs to go in for EU modifications. It is back at the body shop the following week. Guy at garage drove it too fast into the unit, cracked front bumper. Then somehow folds a front door by not putting a jack leg in the right place. Go hum, gives us chance to repaint the doors, as they weren't 'quite right'. (Bear in mind the owner hasn't collected yet, to his knowledge the car is tip top) Car goes out, back to dealers, they hand it over to the owner. Who promptly hits a kerb with such force that the front wheel has demolished the wing. 'Only clipped it' he says. Can't remember the number plate now, but I'd know it if I see it.
