They are going to be returned to be re-sprayed properly.
I am having a p1 splitter fitted and full colour coding done early next year, so may get the guy to respray the entire front bumper to get rid of the all the stone chips.

I hate the way the bastads drive around at all hours of the day and night saving lives 
.
Bloody selfish it is. If I want to die on slippy roads it should be everybodys right as a man (or woman) to do so.
I think it would be far less damaging to cars if on freezing nights the gritters didnt distribute life saving salt and grit, but spread cold water onto the roads instead

Chip, your sreen shot shows the photo opened within Scoobynet. Is there a tick in a box that allows links to be opened automatically?
Thanks

If people drove properly, kept their car's serviced and in a road worthy condition and had decent tyres in the first place, we wouldn't need millions of tonnes of salt dumped on our roads every year.

Amen to that. Sod the gritters, save us billions is tax and let Darwinism take its course.
(oh no, an icy road in winter killed me, why are the roads icy when it freezes, that should never happen. So I'll drive at the posted speed limit, regardless. Afterall, I'm not speeding

old biddies...wimmin....HGV's.....

Yup, the last two time it snowed (woo) I had to take detours along ungritted lanes due to feejits cocking up and clogging the gritted roads. Go figure
And that was in a 2wd car. One was a Nissan Sunny and the other was a Ford Ka (which wouldn't idle). Grit? not needed, 4wd? not needed. LSD? not needed. Snow tyres? Nope.
