2006 V8 Vantage at the United States Air Force Academy.

 

I'm hoping my new bumper sticker will help me land more chicks.

 

 

^^ lol!

 

Got some custom graphics done

I hope it's all on top of the vinyl and the paint underneath is untouched. There's a tiny tear in the vinyl in one spot so I'm hopeful the damage was contained.

 

What happened! Sorry to see that bro, i hope you're ok.

 

Yeah, I'm fine. It was my fault. Had a lot of my mind and my garage is a tight squeeze to get through the door, plus it isn't a straight-in approach so I have to turn into it. Misjudged my clearance and scraped along the side of the garage door. Looks like it's all on the vinyl so it should just be a matter of replacing the clear wrap on those two panels.

 

Did you have the paint protection film installed yourself or was it a previous owner? If you remove the film and the paint underneath is unscathed, you might want to approach the film manufacturer or the installer and see if they would be interested in replacing it for free in exchange for using your car as a testimonial. I can think of nothing better to spend your advertising dollars than to show a client whose Aston Martin was spared a costly repair thanks to your product. Worth looking into.

 

That's a great idea, K-F. I had it done by a shop down in Georgia. I'll have to see how the paint looks underneath and shoot them a message!

 

That's good to hear!

 

Wow that could have sucked big time, you just missed the side marker light.
When I have done something like that to one of my cars, I feel sick to stomach! You are very lucky my friend.

Thanks, guys. I'm getting the vinyl pulled off on Saturday and having the paint on the front air dam and fender buffed to make sure it looks good. The lack of vinyl will be very difficult to notice and I doubt anyone will. But I'm on a crunch because I'll need to have new vinyl put on before next weekend... We'll see what happens!

 

An amateur move Rich! a true pro would have taken off the entire front bumper Ricky Bobby style bro! :-) lol...


Seriously, sorry to see that...glad you had the paint protection film on the car, looks like it's earned it's investment by protecting the car in this situation.

 

From the Texas Mile in October.
