After 34k miles mine is covered in pits and chips - both windscreen and bumper. Had assumed mine were from quite a few motorway miles and also from half finished Scottish roads.

I'll try and take a pic for comparison

At 49k miles my screen is begging for a nice large crack to get it replaced

The S2000 seems worse than other cars for this

I think the blunt screen doesn't help. I suppose the front bumper is a bit blunt too.

Mine's only done 10,000 miles but it's got it's collection of pits. Not as bad as yours sound Chilled, but enough to notice and frustrate!

Don't;

I'm on my third screen in as many years and that's cracked!

It IS the angle; the X1/9s were bad & I never had one in eight years on the MX-5s.

Mind you, roads were less shit then!

Meets are what caused it for mine. Absolutely shot blasted the front of my S, they did. Wouldn't have had it any other way though.
