Default Broke my newly rebuild chasiss... (not so badly)

Don't have photos, but basically what happened i hit a pothole with plastic part under left hand side door and whole left front fender broke of the bottom mounts. Funny, I drove many cars really hard, and this one I drive most catiously I ever did and things like that happen to me :-/ Anybody here had any problems with fender mountings? The funny thing is the plastic part has not even a scrach ....

If you ever happen to travel to Poland think about buying Ohlins "rough tarmac" series suspension before. I acually BROKE one Bilstein strut and Cossie front hub once. Also 2 rims I broke. And I've driven the car for a few hundred kms....

My bumpers are long story.. Both very..."tired". But I never suspected I can loosen a side skirt or what it is called...

Our Infrastructure Minister says so. He lies... Politics is clear - there are holes in tarmac, let's put 30kph speed limit on national road...

That's why homologation specials can outran even powerfull supercars here You can't drive your Porsche fast if you make showers of sparks from the floorpan each time you go over 90km/h
