Title: aggghhh skip
Post by: bigtop on October 23, 2014, 04:56:18 pm
Gutted just reversed into a small skip and put a nice dent and a split on the corner of my rear bumper just under my lights
Is it cheaper for a new bumper or get it repaired?
Anyone had any similar damaged fixed?
Or got a silver bumper?

M8 i know your pain....i reversed into railings... but I'm lucky as a good m8 of mine works in a body shop & was able to fix it for me. just have a look see if the panel is damaged behind also if its ripped or damaged the paint work

My wifey was parking closer and closer to the large skip in our drive ,I mentioned to her that this was concerning me !
                          She says, don't worry I know what I am doing !!
        The next evening when I arrived home she said , have you seen the car,
                    Yes she had reversed into the skip ,so £600 worth of damage ,in the end I had to replace the whole tailgate.
                                     Still love her a bit though!!!
                                                    Hope this makes you feel slightly  better.

"Still love her a bit though" made me laugh hahaha..

I reversed into a bollard late at night that had fallen over.. It hit the light then scaped all the way down the side of my car before I decided to take notice of what was happening. Hahaha oops..

Reminds me of my old Seat Toledo. Had the rear bumper replaced after some guy drove into the back of me then the day after picking it up i reversed into a ruddy great big concrete pillar in a shopping centre.
