Cracked my rear bumper :-(

I reversed up my drive last night without concentrating properly, miss-judged how much space I had and bumped into my mum's car

. It was the last thing I needed to be honest with Christmas next week and saving up for more mods.

I'm going to see the guy who's done all the bodywork on my car tomorrow, hopefully I can get it sorted a.s.a.p. I don't think I'm alone here when I say that I can't stand driving around when there's something not quite right with my car

Here's the damage:

H4ris has done his front bumper as well, seems like it's the time for it at the mo

I thought I'd done mine again the other day, come off a round about slid and hit the curb, luckily it just scuffed the G60 a tiny bit!!

Yeh, I just saw his thread lol.

Lucky you didn't have your RXII's on then when you hit the curb, would have been gutting

Oops!!

If your man is going to do any respraying or work with filler or plastic welding etc, get him to de-seam the bit under the rear lights whilst he's at it... every cloud, silver lining

all that work we put into our cars and it takes 2 seconds of not concentrating to ruin them

Ouch, I'd be well gutted. It's bad enough catching my front splitter on stupid low kerbs in car parks
