Awful for you, I'd definitely have shed a few tears. Bet you couldn't believe your eyes.
It's Isaac Blue? I'd have thought that was a pretty rare colour if someone was adding to another car, or do we think thy were just after the electric bits?

Yeah Isaac Blue so no one is using the bumper to upgrade a base model without paint.

That's terrible Fewie  :sad:

Hopefully you get this sorted quickly. Hopefully whichever toss pots did it get their comeuppance.  :angry:

Feel your pain. This happened late evening last year. I have a list of parts needed and total cost for the insurance. NOT CHEAP.

My fix was to metal fill the 4 bolts. 2 offside and 2 near. Then park nose forward on the garage.

@Gulfstream11, do you mind telling me how much your claim was? Pm me if you’d prefer

What complete and utter scumbags. Some ‘people’ have no respect at all.
I know it’s awful but at least it can be repaired. This is where we all find out how good our insurance companies actually are. Hope it’s sorted asap.

Utter scumbags.

Bet its a few quid to replace, though not sure why you'd need to PM details of how much claim was. Could just say it was about £2k or something. Not classified information is it?

Certainly is'nt. But notified another victim on a different forum and got flamed for talking bullsh1t.. It was a couple of hundred quid shy of 3k.

Can't believe the alarm doesn't go off when the bumper is removed - it's pretty damn ridiculous that someone can just come along and rip it off leaving your car undriveable.
