cheers man, its only the 2 clips that hold the bumper to the gaurd that are broken and the wheel arch liner so ill get a new liner and just plastic weld the clips. i was doing around 100 when i saw it (just over the crest of a hill) and he/her was smack bang in the middle of my lane so i hit the anchors and bang just didnt stop lol. i was suprised that the only damage was the bumper, after i moved the car of the road i got out and thought ok, what have i done lol transmission cooler, radiator, headlights lol
