Spyder Nose Scraped by Dealer

[ABQAndy]

The bumpskid will not cover it entirely. You'll still see some of it. Sorry!

I agree with spydercowboy.

I would demand they replace the parts... then I would install a bumpskid.

The service manager let a parts counter guy ride my 08 Spyder back to the shop. Apparently he didn't know there was no hand brake and he ran it into a metal work bench! It put a huge gash in the hood and scratch one of the fenders pretty good.

The parts manager called me on the phone before I even got home. She told me what happened and that the parts were already ordered. They made a mistake and owned up to it immediately. :thumbup:

No harm, no foul.

Fortunately I did not have to demand anything. I sent them pics and they called back, saying they had ordered parts to replace damage one's. Bumpskid was # 4 on my list of Mods. It has moved to #1. I had the opportunity to see quite a few at Maggie Valley and very much liked the way they looked and protected nose.

I too can except mistakes, as long as they do not try to cover them up.

The "frunk/nose of my spyder was scraped by some redneck in Arkansas while we were going home to Flarda. He was in front of me on an incline. Both of us were making a left hand turn. There was uncoming traffic so we couldn't make the turn right away. I guess he forgot what a brake is about on his truck or he didn't know how to hold a clutch half way to keep it from drifting back. I blew my horn (wish I had of had Rudy's), but to no avail. I have a nice little "cherry" where the BRP emblem is.

Does that mean that in this one instance; I was the "Mouthpieces's mouthpiece"?
