Chip

Looks like a delicate undersea creature, doesn't it? Alas, no. Very pretty but it is the result of a stone pinging up from the road and smashing a bit of my car windscreen.

Off to Autoglass to see if they can repair it this morning. Hope so. A whole new windscreen is being quoted as between £500 and £600. Eek!

oooh we have added windscreen repair to our insurance and we have needed it a couple of times - hope they can repair it reasonably for you

[Babs]

Oh no, hope they can fix it without having to put in a new windscreen.

@annied Checking out cheaper repair first......insurance will come in if they can't repair it. Just trying to avoid losing the No Claims Bonus.

[Lesley]

Grrr - hope you can sort it without it costing you an arm and a leg

[Brian]

Well captured. All the best with the repair

[Pat]

Oh how annoying. I like that you’ve found a positive out of a negative with this nice shot showing the little rainbows in the chip.

[JackieR]

Auto glass good at doing chips. Does look like a beautiful mayfly

[Susan Wakely]

Oh my a great effect but a costly process.

[Joan Robillard]

Good caoture

[Annie D]

@casablanca I remember those days - we're lucky we have been insured for so long we have a life time no claim bonus

[Dianne]

That's a big chip, but you've made it look artistic.

[Diana]

Oh no, it looks fabulous but at what price!

[Hazel]

Butterfly even!

[Carole Sandford]

Talk about finding the positive!
It’s so annoying when this happens, but it’s made a fab subject!

[Kathy A]

That is the most attractive windscreen chip I’ve ever seen although of course I’m sorry it happened to you and hope it can be fixed cheaply and quickly.

[Nigel Rogers]

Clever shot, would not have thought of that myself!

[Kitty Hawke]

Thought it was a particularly ornate butterfly.......sadly not though!

[Oli Lindenskov]

Puha hope it cant bee fixet,👍😊

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Oh no. That is awful.

[Peter Dulis]

nice one

[vaidas]

Interesting visual result of an incident.

[Fisher Family]

I'm glad you told us what the shot was of, because I would never have guessed. It makes an attractive and colourful shot - fav! It is a nuisance being damage to your windscreen. I hope it can be fixed without needing a replacement.

Very cool photo… so sorry about what it is and having to get it fixed.

[Michelle]

Makes for a beautiful image but not for your pocket

[Pat Knowles]

We have that on our insurance so pretty much guarantee we won’t need it! Sod’s Law that. I would never have guessed that’s what it was…..looks too pretty!

[Annie-Sue]

My windows are on my insurance if I use their chosen company. Which I would!!

I also protect my No Claims Discount for a bit extra premium.

[Rob Z]

How annoying! We had the same thing a month or so ago - luckily they did something magic with glue!! Stops it spreading...

[Junan Heath]

Great shot but bad news about the windscreen.

[Phil Howcroft]

I had one , If it's less than the diameter of a £1 coin they tend to say it's can be repaired

[Kathy]

I like the iridescent colors. But I'm sorry it happened to your windshield.

[Shutterbug]

For being so annoying and potentially costly to repair, it sure is pretty with all those rainbows. Hope they could repair it.

[Dorothy]

Great photo, wasn’t sure what I was looking at until I read your comment. Hope you can get it repaired reasonably.
I thought it was a bug on water.

[Issi Bannerman]

How very annoying, although rather beautiful in this image!
