yesterday was picking a friend up from a petrol station...i was in a rush as we had plans at Wenty leagues club for lunch with a couple of mates....any way was running late as usual ans after reversing past the bowser i reversed into a stupidly twice the size gutter.. and yes it was a shell station..i heard a crunch as i moved away from the gutter, i then drove to the parking nearby where i went to do an inspection if there was any damage and OMG there was.. there is about a 3-5 cm tear where the rear bumber connects to the car. also the drivers side has poped about 2-3ml out.. i think i have broken the rivets.. im going in today to get and estimate on how much its going to cost me to fix.... im not gonig through insurance cause then i have to tell my DAD!!!! lol hehehehe....then i will get the whole why wherent you looking where you where going blah blah blah all the usual stuff.. ill try and up load pictures tonight when i get home... luckily its not 2 noticable..

Damn... i know the feeling, i once reversed into a fire hydrant... yes a fire hydrant. The worst bit is driving to a place to inspect the damage. Tough luck mate.

I hurt my focus rear bar, i backed into a stump of all things. Made the WORST noise i have ever heard i went to check and theres bugger all damage, tiny baby crack that you cant see unless you get up close and push on it, thank god for abs plastic kits, if it was fibreglass it would have cracked in half.

I backed into another car with my Fez like a week after a 4wheel drive backed into the front passenger fender. Anyhow, the smash repairer tried melting the bumper cos it's only plastic and reshaping it - it didn't work tho! But he gave me a quote for like $330 to replace & paint the bumper. I havn't had it done yet.

Abit of superglue will fix that. :P 550 is abit steep but I guess it depends on what they have to do to it.

lol thanks danny.... i got it for free from jay jays when i bought a couple of smart *** shirts.... the beanie is really soft and ideal for leaning on the train window and sleeping
yer i know 550 is a bit steap... 81 bucks and 2.7 hours to take off the bumper and re-install it .. 57 bucks to re spray it an hour!!!!... at 4 hours...and an 80 buck booth bill...in totoal really only 180 to repaair it.... like actually repair it.... what a jip. may as well just get some touch up paint in a can from ford and take the bumper into the place and get them to respray the *****..... or... hmmmm my gf's uncle has a spray boot and a proper spray equipment i might have to pay hima visit...
