Just chipped my rear bumper ( now sorted )
« on: 15 October 2010, 09:27 »
Ooops, my fault (feck it) I've just chipped my bumper by reversing into the front of another parked car. I was to busy talking and not listening to my reversing sensors.

More bloody money down the drain........ :sad: Yes I could touch it in myself but I'm no Picasso, so I will leave it to the professionals. At least theres no dent.

Its a job for my old mate Tony Daher from Chips Away who did a perfect job on my car before. I've booked him to come and fix it next Wednesday.

p.s. Asker my cars come out in sympathy for you!



^ My car perfection OCD can't take this  :cry:

What are those lines in the paint at the bottom of the picture? Did they paint that bumper with a brush? :smiley:

It's just a bit of water where I wiped the bumper before I took the picture  :smiley:

I dont mean this in a horrible way but having parking sensors and STILL hitting the car is up there with the elite FAILS. If it makes you feel better I kerbed one wheel and royally f**ked the other both in the space of a week so I'm also on the fail boat.

Unlucky mate :(

Thanks Alan D,  I feel such a Failure now and am just about to call the Samaritans  :grin:

No excuse I guess, but I was taking a stressful works call at the time so I wasn't thinking straight and concentrating when parking. Oh well, I shall just have to fiddle my expenses to get the money back on the repair :evil:

Did you kerb those nice wheels on your car in your sig? Great looking car by the way...... Oh well mate, it happens to the best of us  :wink:

I have indeed kerbed them ones. Nothing a wheel refurb cant fix, but its yet more money I could without spending being thrown at the car.
