My Turn - Fry-Up - 24-06-2018
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

i'll have a proper look 2moro, but the bumper and headlights still fit perfectly flush with the wings, the bonnet won't release at the moment tho

Bummer Rory, that sucks big time!Hope you get everything sorted ASAP, cos a bumped IS just looks sore...
My Turn - Moley - 24-06-2018
thats bad luck mate, lets hope you can find a cheap bonnet
My Turn - Fry-Up - 24-06-2018
my priority lies with sortin the other guys bumper, just paid out tax and insurance so i'm just gonna slap a straight bonnet on mine til I got the funds to do a proper job, lol

there is one on ebay for £50 but it has a bit of a dent in it

My Turn - Sparkystav - 24-06-2018
