My Turn
My Turn
Fluffed it today
the only actual part I need to replace appears to be the bonnet,
the bumper and grille survived with only scratches, long and short of it was the guy stopped sharper than I did, cos I wasn't looking when he braked, I was only doin about 15, prob 10 or less when I connected tho
damage to other car was scratches only so hoping to just pay his repair and avoid insurance, i've had a really good year so far so somethin was bound to give, but the guy seemed really good about it and i'm gonna pop round 2moro as he's local and we're both off work 2moro
Never mind tho, could have been much worse but thats what happens when u break concentration for only a second
Lesson Learned
Ahh no way mate, thats just bad luck. Never like to see a damaged car, specially not a scarletti red IS.
As for damage it will have pushed the slam panel back as well. I would say the headlight brackets have snapped, but they can be araldited back for a quick fix. Slam panel should pull out hopefully.
gutted for you mate, as Pete says i would have expected a few brackets to have broken, hope you manage to get it all sorted quickly and easily
thats bad luck mate, lets hope you can find a cheap bonnet
there is one on ebay for £50 but it has a bit of a dent in it
Gutted for you mate, hope its sorted ASAP
