bozodos Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 lol your front bar looks like mine kinda, which had pre existing damage, but in my ownership has collected : 1 cat, 3 bunnies and a roo @ 100 km/h (which in smashing the front bar more took out the RHS headlight but didn't damage anything else). Sif replace the front bar, thats what colour coded gaffa tape was made for 8) Mine also has the added benefit that when you park on something too low like a kerb, the bottom of the front bar just bends, because it's already broken Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/283828-what-happens-when-you-hit-a-hare-at-90kmh/#findComment-4773245 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyHi_33 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 so is the headlight actually stuffed or just the mounts? If its just the mounts, get them fiberglassed or plastic welded. Better than paying for new xenons.

mad082 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 i hite a pretty big hare (probably about the size or a large male cat) at about 90kmh in my 33. did a lot less damage to the front bar than yours, but then when i had bought my front bar (bought it from a wreckers for $100 cause it was badly damaged) i added a heap more fibreglass to it to make it a heap stronger. i thought the bar was going to be stuffed because i was on the brakes as i had just pulled onto an off ramp and was slowing down from 110kmh. but got to where i was going and there was a few small cracks in the paint in the corners off the mouth of it.

Better than paying for new xenons. well my excess is only $500 for my insurance, and my crash reparier is organising the new headlight and everything but he dies plastic welding too, and just said iot would be much esier to replace it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/283828-what-happens-when-you-hit-a-hare-at-90kmh/#findComment-4773507 Share on other sites More sharing options...

br3ndan Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) u using fibre glass copy front bar?? Wouldnt think a genuine bar/factory plastic would crack like that. Ive seen cars running genuine kits and hit much bigger things and come out less worse for wear then that.

bozodos Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 yeah thats right, plastic tends to bend - mine is fibreglass and it just cracks instead of bending, which is why when I do replace it one day, it will get another plastic bar lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/283828-what-happens-when-you-hit-a-hare-at-90kmh/#findComment-4774328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
