Title: It's official, my car is an arsehole magnet
Post by: Wazzzer on 06 August 2012, 18:16: Someone has just hit my front bumper AGAIN, this time mashing the front number plate, plate holder and scuffing the bumper above the plate :angry:

All done with a tow bar on a pick up that is UNDER the bed! The missus went nuts and marched straight over to the guys house which was quite funny. He's apologised and has asked for me to get him a quote which is something.

Luckily I haven't had it sprayed since the last incident a few weeks ago or I really would be pissed off. I could well be quids in here though so may be able to get my rear bumper sprayed as well... :wink:

Title: Re: It's official, my car is an arsehole magnet
Post by: Wazzzer on 08 August 2012, 20:55: Well the first person to hit the bumper has agreed to pay the painters directly, which leaves me a dilemma on how much to tell the other guy to stop it going through insurance :undecided:

I've got a ball park figure of £160 (£130 to paint bumper, £10 for number plate surround, £20 for pressed plate) so might try and see what he says
