Can the cones mess up your bodywork e.t.c?

E5_ARW · 14-03-2008, 00:14

I spun out and smashed a cone really hard on my rear quarter.

The cone went flying over to the other side of the pen it was that hard lol.

Got out and put the cone back and looked at my car to find the smallest scuff ever so i would say you have to be really unlucky to damage your bodywork mate.
